Soldiers with the 284th Engineer Company worked on a troop project June 22, 2018, to build a pavilion next to the Directorate of Public Works headquarters at Fort McCoy, Wis.

The project was part of training in the 86th Training Division's Combat Support Training Exercise (CSTX) 86-18-04.

The exercise took place from June 9-29 at the installation with more than 6,000 service members overall participating.

Larry Morrow, Fort McCoy troop projects coordinator with the Directorate of Public Works, said completing troop projects this is very important to the installation and the units that complete them.

"If we didn't have these projects, many troops wouldn't get the training they need, and the post wouldn't benefit from the work they do to improve Fort McCoy training ranges and quality-of-life programs," he said.

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.
