alit - arctic light individual trainingArctic skills’ training is designed to prepare USARAK Soldiers, mentally and physically, to operate safely and effectively in an inherently dangerous arctic environment. Cold Weather Indoctrination (CWI) is the training program which is also referred to as Arctic Light Individual Training (ALIT) within USARAK. MSCs and tenant units are responsible for developing Soldier ALIT training programs within their organizations. The purpose of ALIT is to train USARAK Soldiers in the critical skills
required to conduct safe operations and training in an arctic environment.
After completing ALIT, a Soldier will be ready to conduct training in
an arctic environment. All new arrivals, both enlisted and officer,
will complete CWI I before participating in any field exercise, and
CWI I and II before participating in a field exercise during the winter
months (01 October through 01 May). Host units must ensure units attached
for training but not stationed in Alaska receive ALIT instruction before
