70 Air National Guard personnel representing 37 wings in 27 states, and the 3rd Canadian Division's Lake Superior Scottish Regiment, 38th Brigade Group, attended Arctic training during a Cold Weather Operations Course at the Minnesota National Guard's Camp Ripley Training Center, Minn., Jan. 27, 2025, to Feb. 8, 2025. Students participated in a six-day, five-night Field Training Exercise entirely outdoors, where they moved by foot, on snow, in subzero temperatures, using land navigational skills, then built camps featuring either 10-man Arctic tents or thermal shelters made from scratch with materials found in nature. Students were comprised mostly of Security Forces personnel, but also included a Maintenance Group Commander, Physician Assistant, Cyber Communications specialist, and Public Affairs Specialist. The CWOC allows service members to practice mission-essential tasks in an extremely cold environment in the Arctic and around the globe. (U.S. Air National Guard video by Staff Sgt. Noah Lukan)
