    Students who are participating in the Fort McCoy Cold-Weather Operations Course (CWOC) class 22-02 practice snowshoeing Jan. 6, 2022, during course training at Fort McCoy, Wis. The training took place on a snowy, cold day which may have been ideal for the training. 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, too. 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.

    A soldier in camouflage uniform is emerging from or submerged in a hole cut through ice, surrounded by snow and icy water. This appears to be a military cold-water immersion or cold-weather survival training exercise. Safety personnel are visible in the background standing on the ice, and a safety rope is coiled nearby.
    A U.S. Army soldier in full camouflage uniform is emerging from a rectangular hole cut into a frozen body of water during what appears to be cold-weather survival training. The soldier is harnessed with a safety rope and carabiner system, with fellow soldiers observing from the snow-covered surface in the background. This is a controlled military cold-water immersion exercise conducted in winter conditions.
    A person in US Army camouflage uniform is emerging from a hole cut in frozen ice, appearing to be participating in a cold-water immersion training exercise. A second person in civilian cold-weather gear (olive/tan jacket and black beanie) is crouching on the ice nearby, observing or instructing. A rope is visible in the background, likely used as a safety line during the exercise.
    A female U.S. Army soldier in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniform is submerged in icy water, gripping a safety rope during what appears to be a cold-water survival or immersion training exercise. Her mouth is open, likely reacting to the shock of the freezing water temperature. Ice chunks are visible around her, indicating a frozen body of water that has been broken for the training.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are setting up a camouflage tent on a snow-covered field during overcast winter conditions. The scene appears to be a cold-weather training exercise, with soldiers working collaboratively around the partially erected tent structure. Buildings and evergreen trees are visible in the background under a diffuse, hazy sun.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are working together to set up or pack a large camouflage tarp/net on a snow-covered open field. The scene appears to be a cold-weather training exercise at a military installation, with a white barrack-style building and evergreen trees visible in the background. Overcast winter conditions and significant snow cover suggest a northeastern U.S. or similar cold-climate location.
    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms are erecting a woodland-pattern camouflage tent in a snow-covered open field during winter conditions. At least three soldiers are visible working together to set up the structure, which appears to be a military Arctic or cold-weather shelter tent. The scene takes place in a wooded area with bare and evergreen trees visible in the background under an overcast sky.
    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms are setting up or breaking down a large camouflage tent in snowy winter conditions. The scene appears to be a field training exercise conducted in a cold-weather environment. At least four soldiers are visible working together on the tent structure.

A sled loaded with equipment is being pulled via rope by the lead soldiers.
    A ski slope scene captured with HDR photography showing numerous skiers on a snow-covered hill under a dramatic overcast sky with a bright sun breaking through clouds. Snow-making machines are actively operating on the right side of the slope, producing visible plumes of artificial snow. Bare deciduous trees line the ridge in the background, suggesting a mid-winter setting at a ski resort.
    A snow-covered ski slope is populated with numerous skiers and snowboarders captured in silhouette against a bright, hazy winter sun. The scene shows a moderately sized ski hill with bare deciduous trees lining the ridge and at least one active snow cannon visible on the right side. The high-dynamic-range (HDR) processing gives the image a dramatic, high-contrast appearance.
    A group of military soldiers in full combat gear are conducting a winter field training exercise in a snowy, open terrain. The soldiers are wearing a combination of camouflage uniforms and white winter overgarments, carrying rifles and large rucksacks. A yellow marker flag labeled 'C8' is visible in the background, suggesting a designated checkpoint or training lane.
