    A person wearing military camouflage clothing and tactical gear is submerged in open water up to their upper torso. Water is splashing around their head and shoulders, suggesting recent entry or active movement through the water. This appears to be a military water training exercise or water crossing drill.

    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)
