Transportation specialists with the Fort McCoy Logistics Readiness Center Transportation Division move railcars from the cantonment area with an Army locomotive July 22, 2022, at Fort McCoy, Wis.

The work was wrap-up work following a rail movement by the 107th Support Maintenance Company that had 24 railcars full of equipment and vehicles returning from a training deployment.

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