The Arctic

[Furniture]

How much winter and Arctic warfare training is really going on in Pet?

Not sure, I'm not posted there and my experience with the army was nearly two decades ago... I do know that Ottawa and Pet get colder winters on average than Anchorage. That means the people there are more acclimatized to colder weather than people in warmer climates.

As I said, there is likely some truth to the notion that on average Canadians are more accustomed to/better at cold weather operations than the average American.
