Command Sgt. Maj. Gregory Betty, the 15th Command Sergeant Major of the U.S. Army Reserve Command, attended “walking town hall” Sept. 24 in South Post Housing at Fort McCoy.
Betty’s participation was to not lead the town hall, that was done by U.S. Army Garrison-Fort McCoy command staff and personnel. His participation was to learn more about the installation housing area and to hear from Soldiers and families in housing.
At the beginning of the housing town hall, Betty and others received a familiarization of what the housing units look like.
Zach Hynes, Fort McCoy Housing Division chief with the Directorate of Public Works, took the lead to explain what’s in the units and to respond to any questions about the units.
Over the course of nearly an hour, Betty met with many of the housing area residents — both adult and younger — and learned first-hand why many Fort McCoy housing residents have rated this installation’s housing as one of the best in housing satisfaction surveys.
The town hall was just one of many stops for Betty on his latest visit to the post in September 2025. He also met with Soldiers in the 200th Military Police Command, Soldiers attending the Fort McCoy Noncommissioned Officer Academy, and more.
According to his biography at https://www.usar.army.mil/Leadership/Article-View/Article/1523140/command-sergeant-major-gregory-betty, as the 15th Command Sergeant Major of the U.S. Army Reserve Command, Betty is the principal enlisted advisor to the Commanding General, U.S. Army Reserve Command, and other senior Army leaders on regulations, policies, and quality of life issues related to nearly 178,000 Army Reserve Soldiers.
"Prior to this selection, Betty served as the senior enlisted advisor to the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Deputy Commanding General (U.S. Army Reserve)," the biography states. "Command Sgt. Maj. Gregory Betty began his career with the United States Army in April 1988. He completed basic training at Fort Dix, N.J., and Advanced Individual Training at Fort Lee, Va. Throughout his military career, ... Betty has served in every enlisted leadership position, from team leader to command sergeant major. He has also served as senior logistics noncommissioned officer, first sergeant, and operations sergeant."
He also has previously served as the command sergeant major for the 88th Readiness Division at Fort McCoy.
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.
