Instructor Joe Ernst with the Fort McCoy Cold-Weather Operations Course (CWOC) holds classroom training Feb. 18, 2020, for CWOC Class 20-04 at Fort McCoy, Wis.
The class includes Marines, Soldiers, and Airmen for the first time.
The course is 14 days long and, in addition to classroom training, includes training in a wide range of cold-weather subjects, including skiing and snowshoe training, using the ahkio sleds, setting up the Arctic 10-person cold-weather tent, and more.
Training also focuses on terrain and weather analysis, risk management, cold-weather clothing, developing winter fighting positions in the field, and camouflage and concealment.
The training is coordinated through the Fort McCoy Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security.
Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.
The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services each year since 1984.
