Tech. Sgt. Michael Samsa discusses the training he and other Air Force security forces noncommissioned officers are completing in a Cold-Weather Operations Course they are running for 16 days at Fort McCoy, Wis., in this interview at Fort McCoy on Jan. 18, 2023. More than 50 Airmen are participating in the training from across the Air Force. Besides learning about use of snowshoes and moving as a squad over terrain pulling an ahkio sled in a cold-weather environment, the Airmen also learned about cold-weather shelters, survival techniques, cold-weather uniform wear, and more. Fort McCoy has a long history of supporting cold-weather training. Eighty years prior to this training, in January 1943, the installation hosted winter training for the Army's 76th Division prior to the Division deploying to Europe to fight in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II.
