About

Chapter 1 Cold Weather Considerations "Every mile is two in winter." George Herbert Section 1 The Cold Weather Challenge IMPACT ON MILITARY FORCES The cold has been identified as an enemy of military forces and equipment since the beginning of recorded history. When employed in a cold region, a force actually faces two enemies--the tactical enemy and the environment that also aggressively attacks and can destroy equipment and men. The impact of cold weather on combat forces can readily be seen during decisive campaigns in history. Napoleon's disasterous march into Russia, Germany's failed conquest of Russia during World War II, and the operations of United Nations forces in Korea are modern examples. With United States (US) reliance on global force projection, Army forces must prepare to operate in a variety of climates, including extreme cold.
