Ullr Shield Exercise Training Ops at Fort McCoy

Marines at Fort McCoy for the 2nd Marine Air Wing’s Ullr Shield exercise operated military tactical vehicles all around the post for the exercise at Fort McCoy, Wis.

Ullr Shield is a training exercise designed to improve 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing’s capabilities in extreme cold-weather environments.

The 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing is headquartered at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C.

Hundreds of Marines participated in the exercise at Fort McCoy and dozens of vehicles were used by the service members to complete exercise operations.

Fort McCoy has supported America’s armed forces since 1909. The post’s varied terrain, state-of-the-art ranges, new as well as renovated facilities, and extensive support infrastructure combine to provide military personnel with an environment in which to develop and sustain the skills necessary for mission success.
