Students in the Cold-Weather Operations Course (CWOC) Class 18-05 conducted snowshoe training during course operations Feb. 21, 2018, at Fort McCoy, Wis.
The students were all Soldiers, mostly from the Wisconsin Army National Guard.
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.
