A rainbow is shown Sept. 10, 2022, forming over Fort McCoy, Wis.
The rainbow appeared just as the sun was setting and as a passing rain shower was taking place.
According to the National Geographic Society, a rainbow is a multicolored arc made by light striking water droplets.
The most familiar type rainbow, including this seen by Fort McCoy, is produced when sunlight strikes raindrops in front of a viewer at a precise angle.
The colors on a primary rainbow are always in order of their wavelength, from longest to shortest: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.
Fort McCoy’s motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.”
Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.
The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
