any a rough-tough GI has been brought low by Old Man Winter.
Sometimes he attacks directly, sending a deep-freeze right to your bones, making
your every move slow and awkward.
Sometimes the attack is indirect, wreaking
havoc on equipment that worked so well for you when the temperatures were more
moderate.
Those of us who have learned from, and lived through, our mistakes know that
cold weather brings many challenges to mission completion and survival.
Meeting those challenges demands preparation ahead of time, long before the bit-
ing chill of the Hawk sends shivers down your spine.
What you’ll find in the pages of this issue of PS is help in preparing for cold
weather.
Used along with the good info in your regular cold weather publications
and equipment TMs, it may provide that one preventive maintenance tip that saves
your mission—or your life—in the cold, miserable conditions ahead.
BRRRR.
