Fort McCoy is situated on approximately 60,000 acres in the Coulee Region of West Central Wisconsin. It is located on Hwy 21 between Sparta, known as the "Bicycling Capital of America" and Tomah, the "Gateway to Cranberry Country," marked by more than 2,500 acres of cranberry marshes dotting the region. Sparta and Tomah are each about eight miles from the installation. Fort McCoy is approximately 35 miles east of LaCrosse and 105 miles northwest of Madison and is located in a low to moderate income area. The base operator's phone number is 608-388-2222 or DSN 312-280-1110.

History

Fort McCoy is named for Major General Robert Bruce McCoy, a distinguished veteran of World War I. The son of a Civil War captain, McCoy was a prominent local resident who served as a lawyer, district attorney, county judge and mayor of Sparta, Wisconsin. Camp McCoy was founded in 1909. It served as a supply base for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the great Depression. It served as a POW and relocation camp during WW II. It housed 15,000 Cuban refugees in 1980. It was a major mobilization site during Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm and continues to serve as a major power projection platform for the global war on terrorism.

Mission

Fort McCoy's primary mission is to underpin readiness of the force by serving as a training center and support site for power projection missions. As a Total Force Training Center, Fort McCoy's primary responsibility is providing quality training facilities for reserve and active-component military forces.

Population Served

Approximately 2,800 civilians and 600 military personnel work on the installation. It annually supports the year-round training of more than 100,000 active and reserve component U.S. military personnel from all branches of the Armed Forces. Fort McCoy also serves a retiree population of about 440,000.

Base Transportation

The Fort McCoy shuttle bus provides regular runs on the installation. A copy of times may be picked up at the Transportation Motor Pool (TMP), building 1887, or schedules are also posted at all bus stops. The post taxi may be called at 608-388-3616 to be used for transportation between buildings for official purposes only. The shuttle bus will also pick up military personnel at the La Crosse airport. A courtesy phone is located in the airport lobby.

Sponsorship

Upon receipt of orders, either call your new unit or personnel office to request a sponsor or send a completed DA Form 5434. Army Community Service will provide a welcome packet for your sponsor to mail upon request.

General Delivery mail can be set up by calling 608-388-3205, DSN 312-280-3205. Hours of operation are 7:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. Your address would be as follows: Name, General Delivery, Fort McCoy WI 54656-5125.

The first stop new personnel should make when arriving at Ft. McCoy is the Welcome Center, Building 35, just inside the main gate. This facility houses both the Logding Office and Installation Vehicle Registration Office. This would be a nice area to meet your sponsor to have them help you get acquainted with where facilities are located on the installation.
