Instructor Bill Hamilton with the Cold-Weather Operations Course discusses how to prevent cold-weather injuries during the first day of training Jan. 23, 2018, for Class 19-03 in the course at Fort McCoy, Wis. The course is 14 days long and, in addition to classroom training, includes training in a wide range of cold-weather subjects, including skiing and snowshoe training, using the ahkio sleds, setting up the Arctic 10-person cold-weather tent, and more. Training also focuses on terrain and weather analysis, risk management, cold-weather clothing, developing winter fighting positions in the field, and camouflage and concealment.
