Employees supporting the Fort McCoy Logistics Readiness Center (LRC) Food Program Management Office and LRC Supply Subsistence Management Office are shown Oct. 14, 2021, during food service operations in building 490 at Fort McCoy, Wis.

The installation’s food-service team ensures its mission is completed according to established standards every day.

That team includes the Food Program Management Office and the Subsistence Supply Management Office (SSMO); the full food-service contractors; and food suppliers, such as Sysco Foods of Baraboo, Wis.

The SSMO, for example, is one of the busiest organizations during any large training event. The SSMO has a small staff and that staff orders, receives, and distributes all food and rations necessary for each exercise as well as for units conducting weekend, extended combat, or annual training.

Fort McCoy's motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.”

Also, located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin. The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
