Six eighth-grade students and one adult leader with Black River Falls (Wis.) Middle School visited Fort McCoy on March 4 for a Career Day visit with several agencies at Fort McCoy.
Their visit included viewing the locomotive train house managed by the Fort McCoy Logistics Readiness Center (LRC), LRC’s Installation Materiel Maintenance Activity, the Fort McCoy Medical Simulations Training Center, and a Fort McCoy dining facility.
The Fort McCoy Public Affairs Office helped coordinate the visit. LRC employees John Cobb, Terry Altman, Jim Gouker, Matt Salm, and LRC Director Tonya Morene assisted at their facilities. Medical Simulations Training Center Interim Director Ben Leonard talked about the MSTC mission and showed them the facility.
All of the people involved collaborated with 88th Readiness Division’s Amy Sikorski and the Fort McCoy Public Affairs Office to orchestrate this Career Day learning opportunity. Students said they appreciated the opportunity, and likewise the employees appreciated the opportunity to support the event.
Community outreach is an important part of the Army mission. According to the Army, as stated at https://www.army.mil/outreach, “the Army is about more than ensuring our national security at home and abroad, it’s about giving back and getting to know the communities that support us.”
