Funny, when I did my military service the coming of the snow actually made it easier. Skiing and dragging a sledge is easier and faster than walking and carrying stuff on your back. The autumn was cold, wet and pitch black. With snow it got lighter and dryer. Plus, you had access to water all the time by melting snow (mind you, in autumn you could just pick some moss up from the ground and squeeze water from it). I guess the US, being an imperial army, compares this winter training with their training further south. But if they had been a defensive army, training in the same place all year round, they would have known to appreciate the snow.

@@suspicioususer My point was that USA moves troops around to get "winter training" and "desert training" and the like. So their point of reference is skewed. If they had been defensive, the troops defending Arizona would compare desert in summer with desert in winter. And the troops of North Dakota would compare snow with no snow in the same climate. It was just surprising to me how the video presented snow as something neagative when my experience was that the coming of the snow made things easier. Mind you, with modern imaging technology, I do not know what light infantry service looks like in the arctic. I recon that with heat cameras being so abundant camouflage and keeping a low profile might have become meaningless?

@@tubefreakmuva I'd tend to agree with you if it was just a cold snowy environment say 20 degrees etc. Normal winter conditions. But in Arctic temperatures, the air itself can kill you. We're talking about temperatures where if you touch metal without gloves on, you get instant contact frostbite. Jungle is all about minimalism. Bring as little as possible, wear as little as possible. In the Arctic you can never have enough, and theres no vehicles helping you out so its logistically a nightmare. You have to carry it, and drag it in sleds, including extra things such as fuel, stove, and shelter along with all the tools necessary such as axes and hammers. Fighting is extremely physical which is why fitness standards and hard training of the body is important. So fighting in the arctic, in deep snow, with longer ranges (Jungle is very close quarters) on snow shoes or skis you work up quite a sweat, which in those temps is life threatening in and of itself. Operations can continue after dark in the arctic, and its very difficult to hide. At night in true jungle its so dark even NVG's are useless so theres honestly lots of rest, and its very easy to lay low. Weapons don't work nearly as well in the arctic and due to them being metal, maintaining them is difficult. At 30 below, no matter what you wear, you will be cold even if you wear everything you brought which would cause you to overheat anyways so you can't do it. You're freezing cold at all times. And theres no escape from it. Completely at mother natures mercy.

Because if you don't exert yourself and overheat yourself the heat will become of minimal harm. As compared to Arctic warfare where even if you have food, and water, and don't overheat yourself you can still die because the environment is actively trying to freeze you to death. Jungles on the other hand as can be seen from the Vietnam war are by far the worst place to be in terms of a conflict.

@@elyisumtempester3732 Sorry for the long answer, but I believe that the cold is the great equalizer in combat it turns what would be a high speed solider or marine into a guy struggling to pull on the trigger. It would turn the importance on vehicles to a maximum and I think that America still has the breath in it to go back to the powerhouse of manufacturing that it was in world war 2. In a non combat scenario I just think that learning to fight in the cold would be useful. Deploying there long term would help you learn it much for than just going there for a school and I think that we need to learn how to fight in the cold. We have already fought in the heat of the middle east and now I think Russia could be our new enemy. If Russia would lead a invasion anywhere on the U.S (assuming it isn't just a proxy war) I think it would be on Alaska. So yes if i could deploy anywhere I would like to go anywhere in the Arctic because the more soldiers or marines we have that know how to fight in that landscape the better equipped we are to defend or lead an invasion in that weather.

Funny, when I did my military service the coming of the snow actually made it easier. Skiing and dragging a sledge is easier and faster than walking and carrying stuff on your back. The autumn was cold, wet and pitch black. With snow it got lighter and dryer. Plus, you had access to water all the time by melting snow (mind you, in autumn you could just pick some moss up from the ground and squeeze water from it). I guess the US, being an imperial army, compares this winter training with their training further south. But if they had been a defensive army, training in the same place all year round, they would have known to appreciate the snow.

@@suspicioususer My point was that USA moves troops around to get "winter training" and "desert training" and the like. So their point of reference is skewed. If they had been defensive, the troops defending Arizona would compare desert in summer with desert in winter. And the troops of North Dakota would compare snow with no snow in the same climate. It was just surprising to me how the video presented snow as something neagative when my experience was that the coming of the snow made things easier. Mind you, with modern imaging technology, I do not know what light infantry service looks like in the arctic. I recon that with heat cameras being so abundant camouflage and keeping a low profile might have become meaningless?
As a local, who grew up near here, camping, climbing, and skiing, it's so bizarre to think these skills need to be taught, granted most Alaskans don't know how to ski an winter camp either.

@@tubefreakmuva I'd tend to agree with you if it was just a cold snowy environment say 20 degrees etc. Normal winter conditions. But in Arctic temperatures, the air itself can kill you. We're talking about temperatures where if you touch metal without gloves on, you get instant contact frostbite. Jungle is all about minimalism. Bring as little as possible, wear as little as possible. In the Arctic you can never have enough, and theres no vehicles helping you out so its logistically a nightmare. You have to carry it, and drag it in sleds, including extra things such as fuel, stove, and shelter along with all the tools necessary such as axes and hammers. Fighting is extremely physical which is why fitness standards and hard training of the body is important. So fighting in the arctic, in deep snow, with longer ranges (Jungle is very close quarters) on snow shoes or skis you work up quite a sweat, which in those temps is life threatening in and of itself. Operations can continue after dark in the arctic, and its very difficult to hide. At night in true jungle its so dark even NVG's are useless so theres honestly lots of rest, and its very easy to lay low. Weapons don't work nearly as well in the arctic and due to them being metal, maintaining them is difficult. At 30 below, no matter what you wear, you will be cold even if you wear everything you brought which would cause you to overheat anyways so you can't do it. You're freezing cold at all times. And theres no escape from it. Completely at mother natures mercy.

Because if you don't exert yourself and overheat yourself the heat will become of minimal harm. As compared to Arctic warfare where even if you have food, and water, and don't overheat yourself you can still die because the environment is actively trying to freeze you to death. Jungles on the other hand as can be seen from the Vietnam war are by far the worst place to be in terms of a conflict.

Well definitely good to train the soldiers in cold-weather warfare, which is very cold and of course brutal. Imagine if soldiers need to fight in Arctic or other cold-weather areas like lets say himalayas etc.
how do you attend this school?

@@elyisumtempester3732 Sorry for the long answer, but I believe that the cold is the great equalizer in combat it turns what would be a high speed solider or marine into a guy struggling to pull on the trigger. It would turn the importance on vehicles to a maximum and I think that America still has the breath in it to go back to the powerhouse of manufacturing that it was in world war 2. In a non combat scenario I just think that learning to fight in the cold would be useful. Deploying there long term would help you learn it much for than just going there for a school and I think that we need to learn how to fight in the cold. We have already fought in the heat of the middle east and now I think Russia could be our new enemy. If Russia would lead a invasion anywhere on the U.S (assuming it isn't just a proxy war) I think it would be on Alaska. So yes if i could deploy anywhere I would like to go anywhere in the Arctic because the more soldiers or marines we have that know how to fight in that landscape the better equipped we are to defend or lead an invasion in that weather.

@@elyisumtempester3732 I am not currently serving, but I will join when I complete high school. I think my chances are low to get in arctic warfare because they aren’t going to accept everyone that wants to go and I’m sure many marines will want to go.
can you snowboard instead of ski
We are fighting in the that type of environment. It’s called Afghanistan. Jeez.

It's not in Fort Drum. Fort Drum is home of the 10th Mountain Division which is in New York. This is Cold Weather Leader's Course (CWLC) taught by Northern Warfare Training Center (NWTC) part of US Army Alaska (USARAK) in Alaska.

The Russians are probably laughing at y'all. There saying "Aw look at the cute Americans, at least they try."
The army should start recruiting from stoner climbers and skiers, they voluntarily do this every year lol
Help need necromorphy help. At my grandparents. IDK but everything crazy inside me. IDK about my room colorful.
I would like to see our soldiers take these things with a more serious tone, instead of smiling and giggling like little school girls. Y'all better get with it because our enemies are DEAD SERIOUS!

Man when scientists started talking about life evolving and there aint a god then what am i to think about serving for god and country? Or the oath your sworn in on? Kinda makes me think about it, got respect for military but is someone else being lied to here because of religion again? I remember that chic listenin to vanity 6 by the army/navy store but whats up with this subject? Life evolving is "scientific fact" and is "not debatable".
