Installation Management Command (IMCOM)-Readiness Director Brenda Lee McCullough learned first-hand about how operations are conducted and what equipment is used in the Cold-Weather Operations Course at Fort McCoy, Wis., during an installation visit Jan. 5.

McCullough was accompanied by Command Sgt. Maj. Roy L. Rocco, IMCOM-Readiness command sergeant major, who also learned about the cold-weather training course.

As the director of IMCOM-Readiness, McCullough is responsible for installation management activities at 20 active- and reserve-component Army installations and joint bases — including Fort McCoy — located in 13 states and Puerto Rico.

McCullough and the IMCOM-Readiness team provide support for approximately 1.4 million service members, Family members, retirees, and civilians as well as oversight of an annual budget exceeding $2.2 billion for programs across several appropriated and nonappropriated funds, according to her biography.

Fort McCoy has supported America’s armed forces since 1909. The installation's motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.” The post’s varied terrain, state-of-the-art ranges, new as well as renovated facilities, and extensive support infrastructure combine to provide military personnel with an environment in which to develop and sustain the skills necessary for mission success.

Today, Fort McCoy has become the Army’s premier Total Force Training Center for Army Early Response Force early deployers to meet the Army’s operational demand requirements.
