Students in Cold-Weather Operations Course (CWOC) Class 19-03 warm by a fire Jan. 30, 2019, next to an improvised shelter they built at Fort McCoy, Wis. CWOC students are trained on a variety of cold-weather subjects, including snowshoe training and skiing as well as how to use ahkio sleds and other gear. Training also focuses on terrain and weather analysis, risk management, cold-weather clothing, developing winter fighting positions in the field, camouflage and concealment, and numerous other areas that are important to know in order to survive and operate in a cold-weather environment. The training is coordinated through the Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security at Fort McCoy. (U.S. Army Photo by Joe Ernst, Cold-Weather Operations Course staff, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
