Fort McCoy’s Installation Planning Board, or IPB, met Jan 5 in the first of two meetings for 2018.
The board is a forum for identifying, assessing, and providing a common-operating picture for installationwide planning requirements, said Plans, Analysis and Integration Office Chief Ken Musselwhite.
“The IPB is an opportunity to enhance collaborative communication and decisions installationwide, prioritize local requirements, and highlight issues for elevation to Army senior leaders,” Musselwhite said.
Among those who attended the meeting included Installation Management Command (IMCOM)-Readiness Director Brenda L. McCullough from Fort Bragg, N.C.; Fort McCoy senior commander and 88th Regional Support Division Commanding General Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Reinert; Garrison Commander Col. David J. Pinter Sr.; Deputy Garrison Commander Lt. Col. Jared T. Corsi; Deputy to the Garrison Commander James A. Chen; and other leadership members and special staff from Fort McCoy garrison and tenant organizations.
The meeting agenda included going over follow-up actions from the previous IPB session in 2017, reviewing numerous discretionary topics, updating the Integrated Priorities List, and noting upcoming major events at the installation.
“The IPB goes through all these steps in the meeting to ensure resourcing decisions are aligned with the Installation Strategic Plan and operationalize with the IMCOM principle of sustainability,” Musselwhite said. “This meeting forum also allows us to disseminate information and demonstrate integration of garrison requirements and planning efforts with the senior commander, tenant organizations, and other installation stakeholder planning functions.”
Eight items on the Fort McCoy Integrated Priorities List also were covered during the meeting, including:
• integrated protection of the force.
• execution of sustainable readiness and Total Force integration.
• delivery of Family and Soldier services.
• sustain renovation of World War II-era facilities and execute long-range strategy.
• prioritizing and executing base operations support responsibilities.
• pursuing information technology infrastructure upgrades to support mission command systems and anticipated future communication changes.
• ensuring military value and relevance through a comprehensive and aggressive strategic messaging and communications strategy.
Fort McCoy workforce members addressed the progress and importance of each item.
Fort McCoy has supported America’s armed forces since 1909. The installation's motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.” The post’s varied terrain, state-of-the-art ranges, new as well as renovated facilities, and extensive support infrastructure combine to provide military personnel with an environment in which to develop and sustain the skills necessary for mission success.
Today, Fort McCoy has become the Army’s premier Total Force Training Center for Army Early Response Force early deployers to meet the Army’s operational demand requirements.
