Contractors move a fifth of five World War II-era barracks in 2025 as a barracks building from the 1600 block at Fort McCoy, Wis., and is shown being moved May 13, 2025, from the 1600 block to another area of the installation. These buildings will eventually be reset at another area of the post so new construction can begin in their current location on new officer quarters. The contractor moving these buildings is Devooght Building Movers of Manitowoc, Wis. In 2023 during the first barracks move operations at Fort McCoy, that was the first time an effort like that took place at Fort McCoy, Fort McCoy officials said. Looking back, all five of the current buildings being moved were originally built 83 years ago in 1942 during the construction of Fort McCoy's cantonment area. (U.S. Army Video by Scott T.
