The Army Reserve Command
Fort McCoy is a Total Force Warfighting Training Center with a mission to: support training and readiness; serve as a power-projection platform for mobilization; provide installation management expertise; and, provide selected services to Department of Defense and non-Department of Defense organizations. Fort McCoy's primary responsibility is providing training for and, therefore, ensuring the readiness of reserve- and active-component military forces.
Fort Dix encompasses nearly 31,000 acres in the heart of New Jersey. The installation has completed its realignment from an individual training center to a FORSCOM Power Projection Platform for the Northeastern United States under the command and control of the U.S. Army Reserve Command. Primary missions include being a center of excellence for training, mobilizing and deploying Army Reserve and National Guard units, providing regional base operations support to on-post and off-post active and reserve component units of all services, and providing a high-quality community environment, including 848 housing units, for service members and their families. Fort Dix supported more than 1.1 million mandays of training in 1998. A daily average of more than 13,500 persons live or work within the garrison and its tenant organizations. Fort Dix sub-installations include the Charles E. Kelly Support Facility in Oakdale, PA and the Devens Reserve Forces Training Area in Devens, MA.
Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (PRFTA), frequently referred to as Camp Parks, provides an environment that supports individual, collective, and institutional training, and provides facilities and selected installation services for the total force.
