27 Soldiers, ROTC cadets, Airmen graduate Fort McCoy’s Cold-Weather Operations Course class 22-02
Students who are participating in the Fort McCoy Cold-Weather Operations Course (CWOC) class 22-02 practice snowshoeing Jan. 6, 2022, during course training at Fort McCoy, Wis. The training took place on a snowy, cold day which may have been ideal for the training. 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, too. 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.
