Description
Summary:In 25 years of testing all classes of military materiel under the operational conditions of cold regions, the U.S. Army Cold Regions Test Center has amassed a unique store of experience. This brochure has been prepared to summarize portions of this experience, and to present attendant requirements and doctrine needed for successful military operations in cold regions. Later sections of this text will develop in detail the conditions that are unique to this theater of operation. It is, however, important at the start to define what we mean when we talk of cold regions, i.e., the physical and geographic parameters. An example of a principal physical parameter is, of course, ambient air temperature. The unique manifestations of precipitation, land surface, vegetation, etc., that are also of critical importance are largely derivative from the prevailing temperature. Original contains color plates: All DDC reproductions will be in black and white.
