    Installation community members participate in the 2023 Fort McCoy Christmas Tree Lighting Event festivities Dec. 7, 2023, at McCoy’s Community Center at Fort McCoy, Wis.

    Hundreds of Fort McCoy community members flocked to the center to attend the event.

    The event included not just the tree lighting but also children’s crafts, photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, free hot chocolate and cookies, and other activities.

    The annual event is the installation’s kickoff to the holiday season.

    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.
