    Military personnel in U.S. Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage are setting up or breaking down camouflage-patterned field tents in a snow-covered wooded area. The soldiers are working in cold winter conditions, wearing cold-weather gear including black watch caps and gloves. The scene appears to be a field training exercise or forward operating base establishment.

    Fort McCoy Cold-Weather Operations Course (CWOC) Class 20-05 students set up an Arctic 10-person tent March 20, 2020, at a South Post training area at Fort McCoy, Wis. 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. 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. The training is coordinated through the Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security at Fort McCoy. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T. Sturkol, Public Affairs Office, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
