Transitioning from Fort McCoy
The tools, the resources, and a Minnesota recruiting team that places veterans for free — from your last drill to your first civilian day.
Fort McCoy In Brief
Fort McCoy is the Army's total-force training hub for the Upper Midwest — the mobilization, demobilization, and annual-training post that thousands of Minnesota and Wisconsin Guard and Reserve soldiers cycle through, and headquarters of the Army Reserve's 88th Readiness Division.
If you are demobilizing here and heading home to Minnesota, start the civilian search before you clear post — the tools below run on your phone, and a LockLeed recruiter can be working your placement while you finish out-processing.
