    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are conducting winter warfare training on a snow-covered terrain. The soldiers are using ski poles and snowshoes to traverse the snow, with some pulling a sled or litter carrying equipment or a simulated casualty. Observers or instructors are positioned at higher ground monitoring the exercise.

    Students in Cold-Weather Operations Course class 21-04 complete field training pulling ahkio sleds of equipment on snowshoes Feb. 18, 2021, at a training area at Fort McCoy, Wis. Students complete many miles of ruck marching in the snow and cold during the course. Sometimes students move in snowshoes and skis covering dozens of miles. Students also complete training terrain and weather analysis, camouflage and concealment, and risk management. They also learn about properly wearing issued cold-weather clothing and how to prevent cold-weather injuries. The training is coordinated by the Fort McCoy Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security. (U.S. Army Video by Scott T. Sturkol, Public Affairs Office, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
