An improvised shelter is shown being built by Master Sgt. Isaac Pardonvarde with the Fort McCoy Noncommissioned Officer Academy as part of the Fort McCoy Cold-Weather Operations Course (CWOC) on Dec. 15, 2021, at a remote location on South Post at Fort McCoy, Wis. Pardonvarde was working as a guest instructor for CWOC Class 22-01 teaching Marines with units associated with the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force. 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 Fort McCoy Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T. Sturkol, Public Affairs Office, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
