Dozens of representatives of Fort McCoy Garrison staff as well as personnel with installation tenant organizations met Aug. 5 in building 905 for a special postwide meeting.
The Garrison-Tenant Staff Meeting is an important opportunity for all who attend, garrison officials said.
Fort McCoy Garrison Deputy Commander Lt. Col. Chad Holder, who took over as deputy commander in July, led the meeting. Also attending from the garrison leadership team was Command Sgt. Maj. James Riddle, garrison command sergeant major.
The meeting is an opportunity for open dialogue and discussion between the garrison staff and tenant organization partners, Holder said during the meeting.
Holder welcomed everyone to the forum. Riddle then followed, explaining some of the latest news and information with U.S. Army Garrison-Fort McCoy.
Also speaking throughout the meeting there were people from Fort McCoy Garrison directorates, such as the Directorate of Emergency Services; Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security; Directorate of Public Works; and Directorate of Human Resources.
Garrison special staff represented included the Plans, Analysis, and Integration Office; Public Affairs Office; Installation Safety Office; Installation Legal Office; U.S. Army Garrison Fort McCoy Headquarters and Headquarters Company; and more.
Tenant organizations present included the 88th Readiness Division, Fort McCoy Regional Training Site-Maintenance; Fort McCoy Regional Training Site-Medical; Fort McCoy Noncommissioned Officer Academy; Wisconsin Military Academy; Wisconsin State Patrol Academy; Wisconsin Challenge Academy; and more.
In past years the meeting was conducted in different ways, including a round-robin format where interaction between all attendees was encouraged. The current format will be updated as Holder continues to take input from organizations on how to better conduct the effort and the frequency of the gatherings.
The next Fort McCoy Garrison-Tenant Staff Meeting is planned for this fall, although an exact date hasn’t yet been set.
Fort McCoy has supported America’s armed forces since 1909. Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.
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.
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.
