    Marines jump in for cold-water immersion training at Fort McCoy

    A Marine participates in cold-water immersion training Dec. 9, 2021, at Big Sandy Lake in the Cold-Weather Operations Course (CWOC) Class 22-01 at Fort McCoy, Wis. More than 150 Marines participated in the course that was temporarily reworked to support the training needs of the Marines with units associated with the 6th Marine Regiment and the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force. CWOC staff ran four, three-day field training exercise courses with the Marines from early to mid-December 2021. The cold-water immersion is the final training event in the course. 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, too. 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.
