An engineer Soldier with the Army Reserve’s 390th Engineer Company of Chattanooga, Tenn., operates a bulldozer moving dirt July 26, 2022, as part of an ongoing troop project at Fort McCoy, Wis.
The project work is in an area of land near the old Gate 20 and Improved Tactical Training Base Liberty and the cantonment area fence, said Larry Morrow, troop projects coordinator with the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works (DPW).
The site plan is to make it into a base operations support site for installation service contractors, such as facility maintenance, roads and grounds, solid waste, custodial, pest management, and more.
DPW Operations and Maintenance Division Chief Nate Sobojinski said DPW is combining all its service contractors in one location near commercial gate access to keep suppliers from having to drive around post bringing supplies to various locations.
Work will continue to be ongoing in the entire area, officials said.
The 390th also completed other projects in their time at Fort McCoy during Warrior Exercise 78-22-02.
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.
