New firing line walls are shown Oct. 13, 2021, at Range 2 on North Post at Fort McCoy, Wis. The new walls are part of numerous fiscal year 2021 range improvements on the installation, including for live-fire ranges like Range 34. Fort McCoy has 31 live-fire ranges, 17 of which are automated or instrumented; 21 artillery firing points; 12 mortar firing points; and an 8,000-acre impact area. Ranges supporting collective live-fire training include two multipurpose training ranges, a convoy live-fire range, an infantry platoon and squad battle course, three multipurpose machine-gun ranges, two live-fire shoot houses, and a live-fire breach facility. Individual qualification ranges like Range 34 include facilities for modified record-fire, automated record-fire, and rifle zero range for open and optic sights, as well as a qualification training facility with modified record-fire and combat pistol/military police qualification-course capability.
