"Fort McCoy community members participated in the 2026 Fort McCoy Trunk-or-Treat event on Oct. 28, 2026, at Fort McCoy, Wis.

More than 200 people attended the event that also included 27 trunks filled with candy and spooky fun.

The event was organized by the Fort McCoy Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.

Fort McCoy’s motto beginning in 2026 is “Training the Total Force and Shaping the Future since 1909.” The installation’s mission: “Fort McCoy strengthens Total Force Readiness by serving as a training center, Mobilization Force Generation Installation, and Strategic Support Area enabling warfighter lethality to deploy, fight, and win our nation’s wars.”

And Fort McCoy’s vision is, “To be the premier training center supporting the most capable, combat-ready, and lethal armed forces.”

Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin. The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
