Many of you of you have seen the movie from the 60s called Ice Station Zebra. In the movie there is a standoff between American sailors/Marine Task Force and Russian Spetsnaz paratroopers or both trying to recover a spy satellite. Interesting that in this exercise the paratroopers are on a notional mission to recover downed satellite.

Embrace the suck. I bet that makes Ft. Drum seem tropical.

Yeah, you can just count me out of that one. I'm a desert kid. I don't think I'll be much good on ice...
