Wow, yeah, when the fuel gets semi-solid, that's never a good thing. Very few US Army units do cold weather training. It's mostly those that are stationed with Mountain Divisions. The closest I've come is being at Camp Grayling, Michigan in the winter. It never gets quite that cold, obviously, but around -10F(-23C) is still a touch nasty.

Hot weather training is a bit more prevelant in the States. My poor wife was training in San Antonio, Texas during June/July where it regularly hit 105F(41C) and was humid as hell. The time I spent there visiting I constantly thought I was going to turn into mush. In that type of condition, you are only allowed to do work for roughly 15 minutes out of every hour, and you need to consume a ridiculou amount of water. Then you throw on your NBC gear (chem suit, mask and rubber gloves/boots) and the world becomes a blur.
