Contractors with JMJ Construction of New Lisbon, Wis., along with support from Heritage Movers of Blue River, Wis., move a fourth World War II-era building from the 1600 block on the cantonment area to the 2800 block April 6, 2023, at Fort McCoy, Wis. The contractors are relocating and repairing four barracks buildings from the 1600 block of Fort McCoy's cantonment area to alternate locations in the 1700, 1800, and 2800 blocks, according to the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works. The plan is to relocate the buildings to the new locations, then lift them onto the new foundations and complete the remaining work by summer 2023. This is the first time in Fort McCoy's history that barracks buildings were moved like this and saved for reuse. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T. Sturkol, Public Affairs Office, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
