Soldiers at Fort McCoy, Wis., for training in the Operation Cold Steel II exercise prepared for a training scenario on a snowy day April 3, 2018, at Range 26 at Fort McCoy, Wis.
Operation Cold Steel II is a validation exercise to ensure Army Reserve units and Soldiers are trained and ready to deploy on short notice as part of Ready Force X, according to the Army Reserve.
Cold Steel II's Task Force Triad, hosted by the 416th Theater Engineer Command, is conducting training at Fort McCoy through May 31.
More than 3,000 Soldiers are attending this mounted crew-served weapons qualification training.
The Cold Steel II training has a daily presence on the Fort McCoy Range Complex, especially at several live-fire ranges.
Fort McCoy has supported America’s armed forces since 1909. The post’s varied terrain, state-of-the-art ranges, new as well as renovated facilities, and extensive support infrastructure combine to provide military personnel with an environment in which to develop and sustain the skills necessary for mission success.
