 There yeah, so way more times gone by than expected. You might be a train. It's pretty flat It's pretty there. This is our leopard Years cool in our training And rating Slower harder. Yeah And then we start a fire making test So if you have a fire there bring all locks here Finland train NATO allies in winter survival skills in northern Finland temperatures regularly drop below minus 20 degrees Celsius Which makes it the ideal place to train military personnel from allied countries on how to survive in the cold in Lapland northern Finland where temperatures regularly drop below minus 20 degrees Celsius finish instructors from the Finnish Forces Jaeger Brigade run different courses for military personnel from various NATO countries in this iteration Course participants came from France the United Kingdom the United States as well as Finland The course focuses on subjects such as using layered clothing Protecting against and treatment of injuries related to frostbite Sustaining performance capability making fires developing cross-country skiing skills and rescuing from the ice Take your feet Stop look at me go back Name any unit Staff Sergeant Cole 31st operation squadron aviano airbase Sergeant first class capable From United States from the United States which state Arkansas Arkansas Good effort Good effort Instructor for the u.s. Air Force and we were tasked with coming out here to learn From the people who know best about what the Arctic circles like so that we can better train our forces our warfighters our Pilots our operators first and foremost the environment is a lot tougher. I'm used to you know the swamps of Louisiana very hot So it's a huge change of pace coming out here in the cold Really puts us to the test Well the fins I mean they've been doing this their whole lives so I think they have a deep rooted knowledge within their society and What better place to learn than from the source itself when you're not doing anything you're just standing still it is brutally cold so that's the importance of Following what the fins are teaching and layering up properly But also knowing when to layer down on movements and different things you're not sweating too much Which can just cause further problems so 120 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle So obviously that brings in a whole ream of different issues in terms of the length of the day The fact that everything's frozen all the time. There is there's no let up from the there's no warmth from the sun There's no let up during the day. It's almost as cold during the day as it is at night The variations are not as much for the students. It's it's a plus to have Soldiers from different nationalities with different backgrounds so they can learn from each other As we are part of NATO for us, it's important that other nations are also capable of surviving and fighting in these conditions
