Arid terrain forces
Desert troops are military personnel trained and equipped for operations in arid environments.
The term emphasizes adaptation to extreme heat, sand, and water scarcity: Desert troops wore tan camouflage and carried extra canteens.
Desert warfare demands specialized tactics, vehicles, and survival skills distinct from conventional forces.
