Desert Training

Desert Training was a military program during World War II designed to prepare soldiers for combat in desert environments like North Africa. It involved intense exercises in arid, hot, and harsh conditions to develop skills such as navigation, survival, and combat tactics suited for desert warfare. By simulating actual desert conditions, soldiers gained experience in dealing with extreme temperatures, sand, and limited water, ensuring they were better equipped for deployment in such terrain. This training was crucial for the success of campaigns in North Africa and improved the overall preparedness of U.S. and Allied forces.
