Sand Warfare

Sand warfare refers to military operations that occur in desert or sandy environments, where the landscape presents unique challenges. Factors such as extreme temperatures, limited water supply, and dense sand can affect visibility, equipment performance, and troop movement. Tactics in sand warfare often involve mobility, adaptation of vehicles designed for rough terrain, and strategic use of cover. Historical examples include conflicts in the Middle East, where sandstorms can impact visibility and navigation. Successful operations require specialized training and technology to manage the harsh conditions and leverage them against opponents.
