Soldiers at Fort McCoy, Wis., for training in Operation Cold Steel II operate on the cantonment area on April 19, 2018, after a significant snowfall at the installation.
Between April 14 and 19, 2018, more than a foot of snow blanketed the installation in snow, leaving a wintry scene all across the post.
Operation Cold Steel II is the Army Reserve’s crew-served weapons qualification and validation exercise to ensure America’s Army Reserve units and Soldiers are trained and ready to deploy on short notice as part of Ready Force X.
Cold Steel II's Task Force Triad, hosted by the 416th Theater Engineer Command, will conduct training at Fort McCoy through May 31.
More than 3,000 Soldiers are attending this mounted crew-served weapons qualification training.
