Contractors have been continuously moving dirt from a borrow pit next to the cantonment area fence at Fort McCoy through the summer of 2023 as part of an ongoing development of a site. Work here is shown Aug. 2, 15, and 16.
The location has also been a spot for an ongoing troop project on post for the past two years.
The dirt movement has been to an ongoing construction project on the installation.
This area was once a fully wooded area. The project work is in an area of land near the old Gate 20 and Logistical Support Area 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," Morrow said in a past newspaper article at Fort McCoy.
DPW Operations and Maintenance Division Chief Nate Sobojinski also said in previous articles that Fort McCoy 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.
Fort McCoy was established in 1909 and its 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.
