By Scott SturkolFebruary 14, 2018
FORT MCCOY, Wis. -- Twenty-five Soldiers came to Fort McCoy to learn how to survive and operate in a winter environment as students in a cold weather operations class during the first two weeks of January.
"This course gave me confidence," said Staff Sgt. Joseph Chrysler with the 339th Psychological Operations Company of Arden Hills, Minnestoa, after completing Cold-Weather Operations Course Class 18-02. "It gave me confidence in my cold-weather clothing and gear and helped me (rebuild) skills that are not used every day in today's Army ... Also, some of the best parts of this course were learning to build a thermal shelter and (bivouacking) overnight in the elements."
