    A person in military camouflage uniform is wading into a body of water while tethered to a rope or line, with a second person already submerged deeper in the water wearing what appears to be a red flotation device. The setting appears to be a training exercise at a lake or pond during late autumn or winter, evidenced by bare deciduous trees and dry brown vegetation along the shoreline. Clear blue skies and calm water conditions are present.

    A student in Fort McCoy Cold-Weather Operations Course (CWOC) class 21-05 participates in cold-water immersion training March 19, 2021, at Big Sandy Lake on South Post 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. (Photo by Scott Sturkol, Fort McCoy Public Affairs Office)
