Soldiers who are students in courses with the Staff Sgt. Todd R. Cornell Noncommissioned Officer Academy marched near the academy complex April 23, 2018, as part of the academy’s observance of the Army Reserve birthday at Fort McCoy, Wis.
The Army Reserve was founded on April 23, 1908, when Congress authorized the Army to establish a Medical Reserve Corps, the official predecessor of the Army Reserve.
Today, approximately 200,000 Army Reserve Soldiers serve around the globe.
The academy was activated at Fort McCoy in 1988. It was dedicated and named after Staff Sgt. Todd R. Cornell, an Army Reserve Soldier from Menomonee Falls, Wis., who was killed while serving in Iraq in 2004.
The academy trains hundreds of Soldiers each year in the Basic Leader Course and the Battle Staff Noncommissioned Officer Course.
