The issue began in 2003 when the state of Wisconsin won the bid to provide meals at Fort McCoy. The contract was subcontracted out to Blackstone Consulting, Inc. In 2005 the service reportedly started to decline at the base. Multiple health violations were noted and reported by Army officials, who threatened to pull the contract from the state. In 2006 the Army canceled the contract and began looking for alternative suppliers for the services provided.Fox News: Army Base Served Undercooked Food, Bugs (January 19, 2009)

Fort McCoy started with land purchased by retired Major General Robert Bruce McCoy in the amount of 4,000 acres. By 1910 the land had been purchased with additional tracts to increase the size to 14,000 acres. It was at this time that Camp McCoy was born. Camp McCoy saw service in both World War I and World War II. The Civilian Conservation Corps. buildings on the camp were converted into prisoner of war camps during the war. The camp was put on inactive status from June 1947 until September 1950, when it was re-activated for use in training for the Korean War. In 1953 the camp was once again listed as inactive. Over the next few decades it would be used as a job training facility and would even give up 400 acres for the construction of Interstate 90. In 1974 it was brought back online as a training facility and renamed Fort McCoy.Official Site: Fort McCoy History
