God "literally" put a FT KNOX truck in my path TWICE in the last week….to FOLLOW THE GOLD….SO I DID:

 

OPERATION COLD STEEL II (Part 2)

 

Operation Cold Steel II began operations at Fort McCoy on Feb. 19.

 

Task Force Triad, hosted by the 416th Theater Engineer Command, is conducting training at Fort McCoy from Feb. 19 to May 31 for OCS II. More than 3,000 soldiers are expected to attend this mounted crew-served weapons qualification training.

 

OCS II’s TASK FORCE BULLION, hosted by the 377th Theater Sustainment Command, will provide ground qualification at "'FORT KNOX"', Kentucky., from MARCH 1 to MAY 13 for approximately 3,400 Soldiers.

 

This second iteration of OCS II at Fort McCoy focuses on mounted gunnery operations with the same crew-served weapon systems, planners said. It will MIRROR the FIRST OCS held in March and April 2017, also at Fort McCoy.

 

“COLD STEEL benefits the (unit Soldiers) by training them and giving them an experience that they most likely have never had in the Army Reserve or even in the history of the Army Reserve,” Trejo said. “We’re putting weapons in their hands, getting them qualified, increasing their confidence as Army Reserve Soldiers, and we are sending crews back to units completely qualified and trained.”

 

Approximately 50 crews from Task Force Triad also will travel to FORT KNOX after completing gunnery table IV, or individual crew convoy protection platform qualification, TO PARTICIPATE IN A BRIDGE combat support training exercise.

 

“Operation Cold Steel is designed to train Soldiers on a way to effectively acquire and engage targets on a mounted platform,” said Staff Sgt. David Jenkins, operations noncommissioned officer for Task Force Cold Steel II.

 

“This is something that has not been trained on in the Army Reserve in a while other than during (pre-mobilization). “From the operations at Fort McCoy conducting gate IV, they can effectively go on to (situational training exercise) lanes and … conduct the convoy live-fire exercise.

OPERATION COLD STEEL II (Part 1)

 

For the U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers participating in Operation Cold Steel II, which kicked off Oct. 12, 2017 at Fort Hunter Liggett, California, the exercise served as more than just a routine crew-served weapons qualification and validation exercise.

 

For these troops, the exercise reaffirmed their ability to train and deploy on short notice and bring combat-ready and lethal firepower in support of the Army and its allies anywhere in the world.

 

The second iteration of the operation is planned for a larger scale, both in locations and in the number of Troop List Units, running from Oct. 12, 2017 to Aug. 31, 2018 at Fort Hunter Liggett; Fort McCoy, Wisconsin; FORT KNOX, Kentucky; and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, with approximately 3,800 crews of 10,000 Soldiers from across the Army Reserve conducting mounted and ground crew-served weapons qualification.

 

"OCS II is far larger and more ambitious than OCS I owing to three main factors: it has been expanded to include collective live fire; it has been synchronized with (Combat Support Training Exercises) to provide trained gun and vehicle crews at specific times and it is being conducted at four installation over the course of (fiscal year) 18," said Maj. Ryan Gore, Task Force OCS II operations officer-in-charge.

 

The 377th TSC will head TASK FORCE BULLION and fire at FORT KNOX, March to May 2018.

 

Crews at BULLION will feed into a BRIDGE CSTX, providing trained gunnery crews for the exercise.
