Fort McCoy ’ s MC3 project begins phase 3
The Fort McCoy Mission Command Configuration Center ( MC3 ) moved into phase 3 of construction in preparation for support of large-scale mobilization operations on the installation . The MC3 will work with premobilized brigades ’ mission command systems to ensure those systems are updated for a brigade ’ s upcoming mission . Fort McCoy was chosen as one of nine locations to begin construction of a MC3 by First Army because of the installation ’ s role in large-scale premobilization training .
