A Driving Tour of 
Fort McCoy 

Welcome to Fort McCoy! Whether you are visiting the installation for the first time or are a return visitor, we hope your stay is enjoyable. 
Fort McCoy is the only active U .S. Army installation in Wisconsin, as well as the only Army facility in the upper Midwest that is capable of providing the full spectrum of individual and collective training for combat, combat service and combat service support personnel. 
The installation serves as a Regional Training Center that annually supports the year round training of approximately 130,000 active and reserve component U.S. military personnel from all branches of the armed services. Fort McCoy's 60 ,000-plus acres are also home to a wide variety of wildlife , including a large herd of white-tailed deer. During your tour, you may be able to see some of them grazing in the cantonment area. You might even be able to see one of the few protected albino, or "piebald," deer found here. 
Before your tour begins, we ask you to follow a few simple ground rules. 
* 
Please stay within the cantonment area as described in this publication. Once you leave the hard stand roads, you enter troop training areas. 

* 
Observe all posted speed limits and regulations. Drop your speed to 10 mph when passing marching soldiers. 

* 
Stay away from areas marked "off limits". Many facilities on any military installation are open only to soldiers or government employees. 

* 
Photographs may be taken on the installation except in areas posted as restricted to photography. 

* 
Please do not litter or harass the post's wildlife. You are subject to federal penalties if caught. 


The tour will cover approximately 30 miles and will last one and one half hours (without stops) . Please refer to the map included with this guide. 
Your tour will begin at post headquarters (1). Fort McCoy's cantonment area was built in a unique triangular shape to allow troops to operate efficiently under one headquarters. Post headquarters is located in the center of the triangle, or "triad." This building contains offices for the Installation Commander. 
Fort McCoy is the only installation in the Army to have such a cantonment design. In 1984 the Army approved a distinctive unit insignia for Fort McCoy which depicts the triangular-shape configuration of the post's cantonment area with two pine trees silhouetted in the center.

A History of 
Fort McCoy 

Fort McCoy is named for Robert Bruce McCoy. The son of a Civil War captain, McCoy was a prominent local resident who served as a lawyer, district attorney, county judge and mayor of Sparta, Wisconsin. 
He reached the rank of major general during his 31 years of distinguished military service, which included duty in the Spanish-American War, the police action in Mexico, and in World War I. 
Robert B. McCoy returned from the Spanish-American War with a dream. He knew as warfare became increasingly modern, larger and more powerful field guns would be developed. He envisioned an artillery camp, suitable for training soldiers in progressively modern techniques, situated in the low pastures and wooded hills surrounding 
Sparta. He began buying small tracts of land here, renting pastures for grazing to fund additional purchases. Eventually, he acquired 4,000 acres. 
Major Samuel Allen of the 7th Field Artillery, Fort Snelling, Minnesota , also admired the terrain of the Sparta 

area for its training value. September 1905 marked the first time the land was used for military purposes. In that month, Robert McCoy invited Allen's unit to put the land to the test during 16 days of training on his family's ranch. As a result, Allen recommended to an Army reviewing board 
that a large piece of land be purchased here for an artillery camp. 
William Howard Taft, then Secretary of War, advocated 

the building of four large maneuver camps across the country in 1906. Part of the package included a $150,000 appropriation to buy land near the state military reservation at Camp Douglas, Wisconsin . 
When local landowners heard this news, however, land prices skyrocketed from about $3 an acre to $30 an acre. The increase, coupled with Major Allen's recommendations, led to the purchase of McCoy's property near Sparta and additional land for a total of more than 14,000 acres. 
The actual founding of the camp, on what is known today as "south post" , came in 1909. The site was divided in half by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific railroad. On the northern half, a maneuver camp named Camp Emory Upton was set up. An artillery camp known as Camp 
Robinson went up to the south. 
Temporary buildings were constructed and training began. The first units to use the camp were medical companies. 
In 1910, $40,000 in additional improvements were authorized. Construction was aimed at making the site permanent, and the camp was named Camp Bruce Elisha McCoy, after Robert Bruce's father. 

Events during 1910 also helped firm the camp's reputation as an excellent field artillery site, with batteries from Fort Snelling, Minnesota; Fort Sheridan, Illinois; Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; and several National Guard units training here. 
Until 1919, the camp was a favorite of the artillery, and was at one time described as the largest, most modern and most beautiful in the nation. It continued to grow through 
World War I with the building of barracks, mess halls, stables and warehouses. 
Training stopped from 1923 to 1925. The camp was re-designated the Sparta Ordnance Depot, and its mission changed to the handling, shipping and storage of explosives. 
In 1925 the camp was transferred to the Department of Agriculture. Wartime barracks were dismantled, the ordnance depot deactivated, and the military population dropped to less than ten. 
Activity at the camp began to increase again in 1926. Robert B. McCoy died that year, and the camp was named Camp Robert Bruce McCoy in his honor. 
6 


From 1926 to 1935 , summer artillery training was carried on at Camp McCoy by units of the 3rd Field Artillery from Fort Sheridan and by National Guard units from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa . Besides cannoneers, the post supported a Reserve Officers' Training Corps and a Civilian Military Training Camp to prepare high school and collegeaged men for military careers. 
From 1933 to 1935 the camp also had another job, it served as a supply base for the Civilian Conservation Corps 
(CCC), a quasi -military program that provided jobs during the Great Depression. More barracks were built, and the camp was set up like a regular garrison. CCC operations continued at the camp until 1939 . After this period, the camp was put on standby status with only a quartermaster detachment and civilian maintenance personnel left behind as caretakers. 
That lull was only temporary; World War II loomed on the horizon, and the camp was chosen as the site for the Second Army Maneuvers in August 1940. The 65 ,000 soldiers from seven states who participated in the maneuvers made up the largest troop concentration in the Midwest since World War I. 
By now the camp was at full utilization and needed to grow. Between 1938 and 1942 more than 45,000 acres were added. 
It was during this period that "North Post", which still serves as today's cantonment area, was. constructed in 1942. Congress allotted funding for the construction of facilities large enough to house, train and support 35 ,000 troops. Before its inauguration August 30, 1942, some 8,000 local workers participated in this building project. The triangular shape of the cantonment area or triad was designed to allow for a division size force to live and train efficiently under one headquarters. The total cost of the construction was estimated at $30 million. 
In addition, the former CCC discharge center located on south post was converted into a prisoner of war and relocation camp for captured European and Japanese prisoners. 
T he first unit to train here after the "new camp was opened was the 100th Infantry Battalion, which was made up of Hawaiian National Guardsmen of Japanese descent. 
The 100th served with distinction in Italy, suffering severe casualties while establishing one of the most outstanding battle records of any unit in World War II. The 100th's lead in training here was followed shortly afterward by the 2nd and 76th Infantry Divisions. 
During World War II a variety of other acUvJUes also went on at the camp. The nation's first ordnance regiment, the 301st, was organized here. An 1,800-bed field hospital was built in 1943 , and an induction and basic training center for Army nurses was set up. 
7 

A Limited Service school was established to train physically handicapped soldiers in several specialist fields . Building of new recreation and welfare facilities continued, and a bakery was opened to supply the post , Camp Williams and a radio school in Tomah. 
In 1945 the post's mission was changed to that of a reception and discharge center for soldiers returning from overseas. In its year of operation, the center processed more than 240,000 soldiers. 
Training nearly stopped in 1946 , except for the 1, 800 troops of Task Force Frost, who's mission was to set up to test winter clothing and equipment-
For a time during 194 7, the post was an induction center, with men from throughout the midwest processing here before heading for training centers across the country. In June of 1947, the camp was put on inactive status. Reserve and National Guard units still used it as a summer training camp during the next few years. 
In September 1950 the camp was reactivated, and Fifth Army units from across the Midwest began training here for duty in Korea. In 1951 the camp again became a reassignment and separation center. 
Those busy days were short-lived . In November 1952 the Army announced it would curtail operations at Camp McCoy for economic reasons. Soldiers stationed here were reassigned and on February 1, 1953, the post was again deactivated. However, Camp McCoy continued .to be used as a site where Reserve and National Guard units conducted their annual training. 
In 1955 the first of Camp McCoy's tenant activities became operational -the. Wisconsin State Patrol Academy. 
In 1962 the state of Wisconsin was granted a right-of-way easement over 400 acres of Camp McCoy property in order to build Interstate 90. 
Another chapter in the camp's history took place from~ 1966 to 1968, when a Job Corps Training Center operated here. The program trained teen-age boys from low-income families in vocational, technical and social skills . More than $2 million was spent renovating buildings and upgrading utilities, and an added $750 ,000 went to constructing what is today known as the Rumpel Fitness Center. When theJob Corps program ended, the Army assumed responsibility for these new facilities . 
During the 1970's, the camp was reactivated and permanent staffing established to accomplish its mission supporting Reserve and National Guard training. lt',was also during this time that most of the current tenant activities were established here. They include the Wisconsin National G_uard's Mobilization and Training Equipment Site (MATES) in 1971 , the 86th U.S. Army Reserve Command's Equipment Concentration Site (ECS) in 1972, the Readiness Group-McCoy and the Defense Re-Utilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) in 1973, and the U.S. Army Reserve Readiness Training Center (ARRTC) in 1976. 
Camp McCoy was designated a FORSCOM installation with the formation of U.S. Forces Command July 1, 1973 . With Department of the Army General Order No. 45 , the camp was officially re-named Fort McCoy on Sept. 30 , 1974. This designation recognized Fort McCoy's status as a year around active Army training facility. 
During 1980, approximately 15,000 Cubans freed from their homeland as part of Fidel Castro's"Freedom Flotilla" were housed here from May thru October. 
Troop training activity continued to grow throughout the 1980's as did the number of permanently assigned civilian and military personnel. Additional tenant activities established during this time period include the Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment support activity in 1981 , and the 88th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Detachment in 1983. 
8 

In 1984, major improvements in the trammg facilities were accomplished including the construction of a initial entry airborne parachute training complex and a 4 ,500 foot combat air assault strip enabling Fort McCoy to effectively support combined arms training exercises. 
Another important development occurred in 1984 when the Department of the Army gave approval for Fort McCoy to have its own installation insignia. The crest depicts the triangular shape configuration of the post's cantonment area with two pine trees silhouetted in the center. 
By 1985, Fort McCoy was training over 100,000 soldiers annually. This figure represents over one million man-days of utilization each year, a truly significant contribution to the readiness of our armed forces. During this decade some of the lagest reserve component training exercises in the history of the Army occurred at Fort McCoy. These were Reforger, the Theater Army Medical Exercise, Sentry Independence, and Blazing Trails. 
Fort McCoy's reputation as an excellent winter training site grew as several active Army units as well as elements of the Marine Corps conducted winter training here. 
Three more tenant organization~ were established at Fort McCoy in the late 1980's to better support the training activities occurring here. These organizations are the Light Fighter's Academy in 1987 , the Fourth U.S. Army Noncommissioned Officer Academy in 1988, and the Fourth U.S. Army Consolidated Regional Training Activity in 1989. 
Other developments in the late 1980s include the dedication of Constitution Park to commemorate the Bicentennial · of the Constitution and Citizenship Day on Spetember 16, 1987 , and the official dedication of Sparta-Fort McCoy Airport, a joint-use civilian/ military facility , on May 21, 1988. 
Fort McCoy's off-post support mission also grew significantly throughout the 1980's. Today Fort McCoy has the largest off-post support mission of any Forces Command installation with resource management, audio-visual, legal , personnel, logistics, and engineering services being provided to federal agencies throughout a seven state area in the upper midwest. With the closing of Fort Sheridan and Fort Ben Harrison, Fort McCoy will be the only remaining active Army installation in the upper midwest. 
Our current customer base includes all components of the Army as well as the Navy, Marines, and the Air Force. Our 43 training and maneuver areas encompass over 46,000 acres and provide unique training opportunities for field, tactical, and speciality training. Fort McCoy's 39 ranges and 8,000 acre impact area can accommodate weapons from the M16 to the TOW missile. Today Fort McCoy is a multi-million dollar self-contained city consisting of over 1,500 buildings and 60,000 acres. Our annual operating budget is in excess of $35 million, and the size of our permanent work force makes us the largest employer in Monroe County. 
• 
The decade of the 1990's began with a number of new construction projects. These included a medical and dental clinic, Regional Training Site-Maintenance Facility, and the Army Reserve Readiness Training Center. Between 1991-1995, another $80 million will be expended on new construction projects. These will include a central vehicle wash facility, fuel storage and dispensing facility, cold/ dry food storage warehouse, consolidated maintenance facility, multi purpose training range, combat pistol range, a multipurpose machine gun range, a post chapel, Army Reserve Readiness Training Center-Phase II, and a Regional Training Site-Medical facility.

Fort McCoy's role as a major mobilization site was evident From the days of the horse drawn caisson, Fort McCoy has during Operation Desert Shield/ Desert Storm. Over 9,000 grown in order to meet the training needs of America's armsoldiers from 74 separate units and 3,400 items of equiped forces. ment were deployed and redeployed at Fort McCoy. 
Fort McCoy is proud of its history and we stand ready to meet the challenges of the future as one of the Army's premier war fighting installations.
