There are many problems associated with living and fighting in the desert environment. Throughout history, the Greek, French, British, and American forces have learned and relearned the problems associated with desert operations. More recently, observations gathered after the Arab-Israeli conflict of the 64s and 74s have provided, and validated, lessons learned and their impact on personnel, operations, and equipment in the desert. Desert conditions can force our military to re-evaluate and rethink operational plans. History and lessons learned will have an impact on how the U.S. Army performs in the future. Safety, survival, study, and common-sense thinking will lead to mission accomplishment.
