We had an Artic Warfare course that my unit did every couple of years, one course I didn't do but would have liked to.
Where did they go for that, Europe or something or the mountains there or in NZ, etc?
I wish.
The course was actually called Mountain and Artic Warfare.
They did it in the mountains in Aust - a far cry from
most places but it gave the soldiers a taste of living
and fighting in the snow - and it still gets bloody cold over here, just not as cold as over there !!! LOL
Some then went on to do an attachment with the Royal Marines which was a sister unit and so did some "real" Artic Warfare training.
But you have to start somewhere !!!
