So I will just say...wow!

Why are they doing cold weather training with the National Guard now? It's March.

Still pretty cold out up there

What's happening in Alaska or North Dakota that would require the National Guard to be acclimated to severely cold temperatures?

It's March. There aren't that many places in the country that will still be all that frigid?

Problem solved.

Stu has it right - you need to train for the conditions in which you could be operating.

You do know 1/2 the training is getting to location. They train one weekend month at home base.

The training areas can only accommodate so many units at a time. A unit has to take the time frame given to them by the training command.

Are you not aware that National Guard units were federalized by the U.S. government and sent to Iraq, Afganistan and other sandboxes. Last time I checked there weren't any deserts in North Dakota. In the very early days of the Viet Nam war a limited number of guard units were sent there. There weren't any jungles in North Dakota but units are sent to Panama for jungle training. The military trains for war in all kinds of climates and geographical area. It's called being prepared.

We no longer have a southern border. Open area for thousand miles that anyone is free to cross. Plus if you need free medical, free cell, monthly $ payments, flights to your destination of choice, then you will need to stop in at the boarder processing center and sign up
