Patrolling & conducting operations in cold weather conditions is a highly specialized task requiring specific training and patrolling experience.


The cold will beat you before the enemy, if you let it.

Ranging from cold weather specific equipment, individual skills, bivouac techniques, patrolling considerations and cold weather discipline.


The techniques learned during this course of instruction will prove to be invaluable during cold weather operations.
