Garrison Commander Col. David J. Pinter Sr. provided his annual briefing to the Fort McCoy workforce Jan. 24, 2018, in building 905 at Fort McCoy, Wis.
Pinter held two workforce briefings to hundreds of Fort McCoy employees where he discussed many plans, programs, and future efforts at the installation.
During fiscal year (FY) 2017, a record 155,975 personnel trained at Fort McCoy — up more than 18,000 from FY 2016. The continued increase in troop training is happening, Pinter said, because the world is taking notice of what the Fort McCoy team can bring as “value-added” to military training.
Pinter said having senior leaders visit Fort McCoy in recent years has helped tell the installation’s story to many.
“We’ve (continuously) been inviting our senior leaders and our local communities to come out and see what happens at Fort McCoy,” Pinter said. In doing this, it shows the capability that exists on post and what Fort McCoy can provide its customers.
Fort McCoy regularly supports the training for Army active- and reserve-component forces as well as forces from all the military services. This training support includes exercises, battle-drill training, weekend training, and more.
And since Fort McCoy’s top priority is readiness, Pinter said there is no question the installation is getting to be well known for its capacity and capability to be the four-season “Total Force Training Center” that Fort McCoy’s motto describes.
“The team here is doing a great job,” Pinter said.
