Soldiers at Fort McCoy for the Operation Cold Steel exercise fire M2 .50-caliber machine guns as part of training on April 10, 2017, at Range 34 on North Post. Operation Cold Steel was the Army Reserve’s first large-scale live-fire training and crew-served weapons qualification and validation exercise that took place from March 9 through April 25. According to the Reserve, the exercise is crucial to ensure ensure that America’s Army Reserve units and Soldiers are trained and ready to deploy on short notice and bring combat-ready and lethal firepower in support of the Total Army Force and Joint Force partners around the world.
