Fort McCoy Information

The installation serves as a Regional Training Center that annually supports the year round training of approxi-

mately 130,000 active and reserve component U.S. Military personnel from all branches of the armed services. Fort

McCoy’s 60,000-plus acres are also home to a wide variety of wildlife, including a heard of white-tail deer. During

your visit, you may be able to see some of them grazing in the cantonment area. You might be able to see one of

the few albino, or ―piebald‖ deer found here.

Fort McCoy asks you to follow a few simple ground rules:

Please stay within the cantonment area. Once you leave the hard stand roads, you enter troop training areas.

Observe all posted speed limits and regulations. Drop your speed to 10 mph when passing marching soldiers.

Stay away from areas marked ―off limits‖. Many facilities on any military installation are open only to soldiers or

government employees.

Photographs may be taken on the installation except in areas posted as restricted to photograph.

Please do not litter or harass the post’s wildlife. You are subject to federal penalties if caught.

Facilities available at Fort McCoy are extensive, and while most are reserved for military personnel and their fami-

lies, some are open to use by students at the Wisconsin State Patrol Academy.
