    Marines cite appreciation for Cold-Weather Operations Course training at Fort McCoy

    Students, both Marines, in Fort McCoy’s Cold-Weather Operations Course (CWOC) Class 20-01 work on building an improvised shelter Dec. 13, 2019 at a remote location on South Post at Fort McCoy, Wis. In addition to improvised shelter building in cold weather, CWOC students are trained on a variety of cold-weather subjects. These include 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 operate in a cold-weather environment. The training is coordinated through the Fort McCoy Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security. This course class included 38 Soldiers and Marines. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
