Patrolling & conducting operations in cold weather conditions is a highly specialized task requiring specific training and patrolling experience. Therefore we must require a certain amount of experience required to participate. 

How do you prove it? Veterans can provide combat arms DD214, civilians- attend the 1 Shepherd Leadership Institute, Max Velocity or similar patrolling school. Or call us to describe your background & skill level if none of the above applies to you!

The cold will beat you before the enemy, if you let it.
​Prerequisites: Must be able to demonstrate tactical proficiency in the following categories: 


Basic Patrolling Competency: IMT, Hand & Arm Signals, Patrolling Formations, Attack Formations & AR15 manipulation.

Land Navigation: ability to use compass and read military map day & night (civilian orienteering ok)

Working knowledge & application experience on at least ONE skill in EACH Tactical Task category:

Enabling OPS- Area Recon, Point Recon, Screening Ops, Covering Ops, Guard Ops, Passage of Lines

Defensive OPS- Area Defense, Retrograde Delay/Withdrawal, Mobile Defense, Patrol Base, Objective Rally Point


To be eligible to attend just the FTX you must have attended a previous Winter Warrior Course with us.

Course Descriptions:

Winter Warrior Course is the entry point for operating in cold weather regions & the Winter Forge FTX. The WWC is focused on individual & team equipment, tasks as well as cold weather knowledge.


Winter Leaders Course is for returning Winter Warrior Course participants who want to expand their capabilities into the leadership, planning & higher organizational tasks of the fire team & squad leaders. The WLC will enhance your abilities to plan & lead successful patrols in cold weather regions.


Field Training Exercise: 2 patrols face off against each other in 48 hour FTX to apply lessons learned in the WWC & WLC. Using the MILES force on force laser engagement system, individuals & patrols get real visceral experience on conducting cold weather ops in an austere, non-stop mission set against an enemy force.
