Does the climate have anything to do with the military?

There is a connection, and it is very close!

The influence of meteorology on military affairs;

Meteorology is the general name of various physical states and phenomena such as cold, heat, dryness, humidity, wind, clouds, rain, snow, frost, fog and lightning in the atmosphere. Meteorological conditions refer to the synthesis of meteorological elements and weather phenomena in a certain area in a certain time or period.

Meteorological conditions have a direct or indirect impact on military activities. For example, severe cold or heat will affect the performance of technical equipment, which may lead to non-combat attrition; Poor visibility is not conducive to navigation, shooting and observation, but it is conducive to covert operations; Rain and snow weather affects the marching speed, which is not conducive to the mobility of large corps and motorized troops, and is conducive to the suddenness of combat operations, and so on.

In military science, there is a discipline called military meteorology, which is a branch of applied meteorology. It is a subject that studies the influence of meteorological conditions on military activities and the use of weapons and equipment, as well as the means and methods of implementing meteorological support for military operations, training and national defense scientific experiments.

According to the current and future meteorological conditions and weather forecast, combined with the situation of the enemy and ourselves, military meteorology formulates reasonable operational plans, improves military equipment and weapons, takes measures conducive to the established military objectives, and even creates artificial meteorological conditions by using the principle of artificially influencing the weather, so as to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy.

In addition, military meteorological support is carried out on the basis of fully understanding the influence of meteorological conditions on military activities and accurately grasping the weather changes. Provide necessary meteorological conditions for military activities in time, judge the situation for commanders, and put forward suggestions on using meteorological conditions to ensure the smooth operation of troops.
