GARRISION FLAGPOLE 2014 FORT MCCOY GUIDE • PAGE 7 WWW.MCCOY.ARMY.MIL HISTORY Serving America’s armed forces since 1909 Fort McCoy is named for Robert Bruce McCoy. The son of a Civil War captain, McCoy was a prominent local resident who, throughout his lifetime, served as a lawyer, district attorney, county judge and mayor of Sparta, Wis. He reached the rank of major general during his 31 years of distinguished military service, which included service in the SpanishAmerican War, the police action in Mexico, and World War I. McCoy returned from the Spanish-American War with a dream. He knew that as warfare became increasingly more modern, larger and more-powerful guns would be developed, and training would be emphasized. He envisioned these changes would require larger training areas, and, by 1905, he had acquired approximately 4,000 acres of land in the Sparta area. Maj. Samuel Allen of the 7th Field Artillery at Fort Snelling, Minn., also admired the terrain of the Sparta area for its training value. September 1905 marked the first use of the land for military purposes. McCoy invited Allen’s unit to put his family’s ranch to the test during 16 days of training. As a result of the 16-day test, Allen recommended to an Army review board that a large piece of land be purchased for an artillery camp. Approximately 14,200 acres of land, including McCoy’s 4,000 acres, were purchased in 1909. The resulting parcel was called the “Sparta Maneuver Tract.” The Sparta Maneuver Tract was divided approximately in half by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. The maneuver camp situated on the northern half of the parcel was referred to as Camp Emory Upton, while that to the south was known as Camp Robinson. In 1910, the War Department authorized $40,000 for construction and improvements to the area. The camp officially was designated Camp McCoy Nov. 19, 1926, in honor of Maj. Gen. Robert B. McCoy, who had died that same year. Nearly 9,500 acres of land were acquired from the Department of Agriculture in 193839. From 1940-42, an additional 37,437 acres were acquired by a directive from the Secretary of War. These additions included construction of the large, triangular-shaped cantonment area, much of which still exists today. The “New Camp” officially was inaugurated Aug. 30, 1942. Total cost for the construction was estimated at $30 million, and the camp capacity was set at 35,000. Camp McCoy was used as a training facility for many World War II units, including the 2nd Infantry Division, the 76th Infantry Division and the 100th Infantry Battalion, which was comprised of Hawaii National Guardsmen of Japanese ancestry. The post also served as a 14th Field artillery, 1920s prisoner-of-war and enemy-alien prison camp during this time. Aside from temporary lulls, the installation has been in almost constant use since its founding in 1909 and has provided artillery and maneuver training opportunities for millions of military personnel from all services. Camp McCoy was aligned under U.S. Army Forces Command July 1, 1973, and officially was re-designated as Fort McCoy Sept. 30, 1974. In 1990-91, during Operations Desert Shield/Storm, Soldiers from 74 separate units and their equipment were deployed and redeployed at Fort McCoy. From June 1991 through June 1992, the post also completed Operation Desert Fix, which was one of the largest reserve-component equipment demobilization/repair missions in the Army. During Desert Fix, Fort McCoy was responsible for inventorying, inspecting, repairing and returning more than a division-and-ahalf ’s worth of equipment to 121 owning units located throughout a nine-state area. The 1990s ushered in the first great construction growth experienced at the post since the construction of the cantonment area in 1942. From 1990 to the present day, new construction projects have served to modernize the post’s infrastructure, facilities and training areas. The hundreds of millions of dollars invested in the post have benefitted Fort McCoy as well the local economy, with the majority of the new construction contracts having been awarded to regional firms. Training levels at Fort McCoy reached record proportions in fiscal year 2000, with 149,432 personnel participating. The installation has provided support and facilities for the training of more than 100,000 personnel annually since 1984. Fort McCoy was aligned under the U.S. Army Reserve Command in 1993. Fort McCoy was realigned under what is now known as the Installation Management Command in 2002. Today, Fort McCoy’s primary mission is to support the readiness of the force by serving as a training center and a support site for powerprojection missions. The installation has served in a continuing capacity as an Army power-projection site by processing and preparing military personnel for duty in overseas contingency operations. From Sept. 11, 2001 through Dec. 30, 2011, 140,197 military personnel from 2,416 units mobilized or demobilized at Fort McCoy during the installation’s efforts to support the Global War on Terror. Today the post provides full-scale support to its customers at each juncture of its training triad — Transient, Institutional and Exercise. (For more photographs and information on Fort McCoy’s history, please see “Fort McCoy History & Heritage,” which is available on the installation or online at http://www.mccoy.army.mil/AboutUs/History/FMCHistHrtg.pdf.)

Slopes & Chalet Downhill skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels will find four groomed and lighted ski runs — the longest exceeding 1,300 feet — equipped with a self-loading T-bar lift. The vertical drop of the slope is more than 185 feet. A terrain park also is available to snowboarders. The facility is recognized by the National Ski Patrol, and patrol members monitor activity on the slopes to promote safety and to attend to any injuries. Snow tubers can enjoy the excitement of sliding down an 800-foot slope. The five tubing runs are equipped with a separate rope tow, making the journey to the top of the hill as enjoyable as the trip down. When natural snow conditions are sufficient, cross-country skiers have access to more than five miles of groomed trails. Snowshoers also will find opportunities for fun. The Whitetail Ridge Chalet provides an indoor respite. In addition to providing a break from the cold, the Family area of the facility serves a variety of food and beverages and has large windows allowing views to the activities outdoors. Lift tickets and on-site equipment rental are available at daily or seasonal rates. Whitetail Ridge facilities also are available at special rates for group functions.
