on Base at Fort McCoy

125,166 troops train at Fort McCoy during fiscal year 2019
For the 35th consecutive year, more than 100,000 troops have trained at Fort
McCoy as 125,166 service members completed training on post during fiscal year
(FY) 2019.
The numbers were lower than FY 2018’s total of 148,733 because several Army
National Guard units that usually conduct training at Fort McCoy were sent on
deployments to areas of the world where the Army supports numerous ongoing
operations.
Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security personnel document the
training statistics each month of the fiscal year. This involves combining numbers
of the entire transient training population, which encompasses reserve- and
active-component military forces as well as other training agencies, such as law-
enforcement agencies or the Wisconsin Challenge Academy.
The FY 2019 training statistics were split between extended combat training
(ECT) and battle drills. The ECT total for the fiscal year was 68,812, which includes
institutional, civilian, and law-enforcement training and major exercises. The
battle drill weekend training total for FY 2019 was 56,354.
Fort McCoy has supported the training of at least 100,000 troops annually since 1984. An annual-training record of
155,975 was set in fiscal year 2017.
The post’s varied terrain, state-of-the-art ranges, new as well as renovated facilities, and extensive support
infrastructure combine to provide military personnel with an environment in which to develop and sustain the
skills necessary for mission success.
