21 Northern Strike’s winter iteration exercise, known as Winter Strike, was held for the second time. After attending Northern Strike 20-2 last year, The Wisconsin National Guard’s 120th Field Artillery Regiment wanted more cold-weather, joint fires training this year at Northern Strike 21-1.
For the duration of their training, the Soldiers ate, slept and worked in the field at the Camp Grayling Maneuver Training Center. They overcame wind, snow, and single digit temperatures, which are common conditions at northern Michigan’s National All-Domain Warfighting Center in January.
“We typically don’t shoot in the winter, so Winter Strike gives us a better understanding of how to operate in the winter environment” said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Graham McFarland, 120th FA Regt., section chief. “Learning how to operate in a cold weather environment includes living, dressing, and working with our equipment in the cold.”
