Prevention Of Cold Injury (1974)

Department Of Defense - Description: When Training In The Arctic, The Soldier Must Contend With That Most Ancient Enemy Of Man--the Cold. Since Clothing Dictates Much About How The Soldier Will Perform In A Freezing Climate, How To Dress And What To Wear Is Given Prime Consideration In This Film. Too, Proper Foot Care And Hygiene Is Stressed, As Is Safety In Handling Equipment. - Pin 65021

Yes, watch that stove. Our squad tent started on fire in Germany back in 1974. Fortunately we put it out before the whole tent went up.
