The Fort McCoy Garrison leadership team made a pledge to the installation team through the Installation Management Command (IMCOM) Leadership Pledge they signed Jan. 23 during the Garrison Commander Workforce Briefing in building 905.

Garrison Commander Col. Hui Chae Kim; Garrison Deputy Commander Lt. Col. Sheila L. Coker; Deputy to the Garrison Commander James A. Chen; and Command Sgt. Maj. Frank T. Mathias, garrison command sergeant major, committed and signed the pledge.

The pledge is part of IMCOM’s Service Culture Initiative. IMCOM also breaks done the initiative into an acronym called SERVICE that acknowledges the command’s principles — service, excellence, respect, vision, integrity, communication, and empowerment.

“It simply acknowledges that what IMCOM does is different — no other organization in the Army impacts Soldiers and Families to the level IMCOM does on a daily basis,” according to an IMCOM statement about the pledge. “Our installations are where Soldiers and Families live, play, train and prepare; build relationships, teams, and communities; (and) where they deploy from and return to — ‘We are the Army’s Home.’”

The pledge states: “We pledge to position you for success with:

• an impactful on-boarding and orientation experience to welcome you to the Fort McCoy team.

• clear performance standards, to include standards for service excellence.

• an individual development plan developed with your supervisor, reviewed during periodic counseling.

• opportunities for personal growth and professional development.

• a recognition program to reward service and performance excellence.

• engaged leaders who seek and welcome your input and take action to continuously improve the organization.

• an organization that embraces the concept of team, teamwork, and empowerment.

• a promise to hold ourselves and each other accountable.”
