A gate section built by the Works Progress Administration in 1941 is shown on South Post near the housing area July 12, 2018, at Fort McCoy, Wis.

From 1935-1941, the Works Progress Administration made significant contributions to the nation's defense efforts and at Fort McCoy were a part of many projects, including building this gate section.

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.
