Soldiers at Fort McCoy, Wis., for training in the 86th Training Division's Combat Support Training Exercise 86-18-04 were busy all around post preparing for the exercise on June 7, 2018, at Fort McCoy, Wis.

The exercise, coordinated by the 84th Training Command with more than 90 units and 9,000 troops participating, is part of the Army Reserve's Combat Support Training Program, or CSTP.

CSTP exercises are large-scale, collective-training exercises designed to immerse units into tactical training environments that closely replicate what they might experience in operational deployments.

The 86th Training Division is a tenant organization at Fort McCoy.

The exercise is another indicator of how Fort McCoy helps the Army meet its operational demands in support of combatant commanders across the globe, said Fort McCoy Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security Director Brad Stewart.

Fort McCoy has supported America's armed forces since 1909. The installation's motto is to be the "Total Force Training Center." 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.
