Post personnel managed a prescribed burn Nov. 1, 2018, on North Post at Fort McCoy, Wis.
Personnel from the Directorate of Emergency Services Fire Department; Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division Natural Resources Branch; Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security; and the Colorado State University Center of Environmental Management of Military Lands, under contract with the post, help coordinate each prescribed burn at the post.
Prescribed burns also improve wildlife habitat, control invasive plant species, restore and maintain native plant communities, and reduce wildfire potential.
Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.
Fort McCoy lives its motto, "Total Force Training Center."
The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services each year since 1984.
