Building destruction in 1600 block at Fort McCoy makes way for future construction

Workers use excavators to take down a building in the 1600 block of the cantonment area Dec. 15, 2021, at Fort McCoy, Wis.

The work is to make way for more upcoming construction in 2022 where the first of three brigade headquarters buildings will be constructed.

That construction will be managed by the Army Corps of Engineers.

The work also aligns with the Fort McCoy Master Plan for construction, and more.

Fort McCoy was established in 1909 and its 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.
