89B Ammunition Supply Course students complete field work at Fort McCoy

Students and instructors with the 89B Ammunition Supply Course completed field training July 23-24, 2019, on the cantonment area at Fort McCoy, Wis.

The Ammunition Supply Course, taught by the 13th Battalion, 100th Regiment at Fort McCoy, is a four-week course that provides training for

Soldiers who are reclassifying to the 89B military occupational specialty.

Phase one of the course focuses on basic work, such as ammunition and equipment familiarization, paperwork procedures, and demolitions training.

Phase two includes more hands-on training, such as equipment operation and use of the Palletized Load System.

Upon successful completion of both phases of the course, students are awarded the 89B MOS.

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 each year since 1984.
