Fort McCoy community members participate in the 118th Army Reserve Birthday Celebration on April 23, 2026, at McCoy’s Community Center at Fort McCoy, Wis. The celebration, organized by Fort McCoy’s Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, included remarks from installation leaders, a ceremonial cake-cutting, and free food for attendees following the ceremony. The event marked another milestone for a force whose origins date to April 23, 1908, when Congress established the Medical Reserve Corps — the official predecessor to today’s Army Reserve. Over the past 118 years, the Army Reserve has evolved into an essential component of the Total Army, providing trained and ready forces for overseas combat operations, homeland response missions, disaster support, and countless other operations around the globe.
