    A military personnel in camouflage uniform wades into a body of water toward a person in a red immersion/survival suit who is submerged up to their shoulders. The scene appears to be a cold-water survival or rescue training exercise, likely conducted during winter based on the bare deciduous trees and dormant vegetation in the background. The setting is a calm lake or pond in a wooded area under clear blue skies.

    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)
