The Wisconsin Maneuver Area Training Equipment Site (MATES) is shown in July and August at Fort McCoy, Wis., receiving a parking area upgrade.
The MATES facility belongs to Wisconsin Army National Guard and is a tenant organization at Fort McCoy.
The facility was established at Fort McCoy in 1949 when a four-bay maintenance building was built.
Since then, there have been numerous upgrades and expansion during the 1970s, 1990s and in recent years.
The facility now occupies 8.5 acres of the pos’'s cantonment area and has more than 50 employees.
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.
