PREFACE
This handbook is an aid for soldiers in cold climates. However, expertise in dealing with
cold-weather operations cannot be gained just from reading this handbook. To develop
successful cold-weather field techniques, application training and operational experience
are necessary. Additional information is available in FM 31-70, FM 31-71, FM 90-11
(TBP), and FM 9-207.
Military history of operations in northern areas shows that man's success or failure is
measured by his regard for the dominant characteristics of a cold-weather environment.
For a soldier to become a cold-weather expert, he must learn the techniques and rules
needed to fight and live in a cold-weather climate.
The proponent of this publication is HQ TRADOC. Submit changes for improving this
publication on DA Form 2028 (Recommended Changes to Publications and Blank
Forms) and forward it to Commandant, US Army Infantry School, ATTN: ATSH-B, Fort
Benning, Georgia 31905-5593.
Unless otherwise stated, whenever the masculine gender is used, both men and women
are included.
