Soldiers with the Army Reserve’s 612th Engineer Detachment (Utilities) of Duluth, Minn., worked on a sidewalk troop project in mid-August 2024 on the cantonment area at Fort McCoy, Wis.

The engineers replaced 220 feet of sidewalk on the project.

The work was done while the Soldiers were at Fort McCoy for training in the 86th Training Division’s Combat Support Training Exercise 86-24-02.

Completing troops projects at the installation is very important, according to Fort McCoy's Directorate of Public Works.

The projects help troops get the training they need, and the post benefits from the work they do, such as improving Fort McCoy training ranges and quality-of-life programs.

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.
