Xefera 6th Gear August 3, 2011 Share August 3, 2011 (edited) A navigation exercise is not that strenous, It's a standard field trip thing... I wonder if it's an accident or something else... My condolenses for the family of the deceased could be heat injury case. maybe did not hydrate sufficiently. weather these days very hot at noon!! but why was this guy found unconscious alone and not with buddy? or nowadays soldiers are required to topo alone?

Sosaria Twincharged August 3, 2011 Share August 3, 2011 I think with the hot weather nowadays it is possible that there will be more heat stroke or dehydration cases which can be more serious. Actually, sometimes it is possible that a person can be too engrossed in the activity, then forget to drink enough water. What to do? Perhaps some innovative fellow can come up with a reminder beeper device, attach to the water canteen, keep beeping until the user rehydrate regularly... not very tactical, though!

Babyt 4th Gear August 3, 2011 Share August 3, 2011 our world class scholars can come with an invention - a time released water capsules which can pack in 5 litres of water in 1 small capsule. soldiers just need to take 1 capsule w some water and it will provide continuously hydration for the next 4 hours.
