The 86th is holding the exercise as part of the U.S. Army Reserve commanding general’s Combat Support Training Program (CSTP).
Thousands of service members with the Army as well as other military services and foreign militaries are participating in the multinational exercise, including Canadian armed-forces members.
CSTX 86-18-02 is the second of two CSTXs by the 86th taking place at Fort McCoy this year.
According to the 84th Training Command, CSTP exercises are large-scale training exercises where units experience tactical training scenarios specifically designed to replicate real-world missions.
“CSTP exercises prepare … Army Reserve units to be combat-ready by immersing them in realistic scenarios where they train as they would fight,” states an 84th document about the exercises.
“These exercises are developed to improve … units’ training readiness and to assess how they perform in a dynamic operational environment.”
Exercises also taking place along with CSTX 86-18-02 are Global Medic, Diamond Saber, and Patriot Warrior.
