How many soldiers are deployed to three or four different environments? I guess that the ones that are (based on my extensive knowledge of TV) will be looking for the extra advantage that a slight improvement gives.
- chrisseaton 8y ago> How many soldiers are deployed to three or four different environments? A pretty normal year for a regular, non special-forces, soldier could be an exercise in the bush in Kenya, in the artic circle in Norway, in the jungle in Belize, in European temperate mountains, in the desert in Oman...

- matt_the_bass 8y agoI assume that is what was meant. But FYI I have seen US military in uniform in Artic (a place in Rhode Island)
- PhilWright 8y agoThe idea that more than a vanishingly small number of regular troops are visiting so many environments in a year is hilarious.
- chrisseaton 8y agoThis is typical for a basic unit in my experience. I don’t know if you’re in the military, but people don’t just sit around at home even if there isn’t a major operation on. Units are regularly well go to different environments deliberately to keep their skills up.
