Soldiers with the 2nd Battalion, 106th Cavalry (2nd, 106th) of the Illinois National Guard's 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team complete training with Humvee-mounted M2 .50-caliber machine guns Oct. 18, 2018, on Range 2 at Fort McCoy, Wis.

Dozens of 2nd, 106th Soldiers made their way to Fort McCoy for extended combat training over several days in mid-October.

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.

Fort McCoy continues to be a high-volume training venue as 148,733 personnel trained at the installation in fiscal year (FY) 2018 - just a few thousand under the record number of troops who trained on post in FY 2017.
