Fort McCoy DPTMS holds first training workshop held by directorate at installation

Twenty-three service members attended the Fort McCoy Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security (DPTMS) Training Workshop on April 8, 2021, in building 905 at Fort McCoy, Wis.

This was the first workshop held by DPTMS to assist unit representatives with the processes and requirements to schedule and hold training at Fort McCoy, said Larry Sharp, DPTMS Training Coordination Branch chief.

The workshop took place April 7-8 and participants learned about range safety, range operations, range maps, and more.

Fort McCoy has supported the training of at least 100,000 troops nearly every year since 1984. An annual-training record of 155,975 was set in fiscal year 2017.

The installation's motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.” Fort McCoy is also the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.
