METHODOLOGICAL FEATURES OF TEACHING CONSTRUCTION OF SNOW SHELTERS FOR OPERATIONS IN ARCTIC CONDITIONS TO MILITARY SERVICEMEN

Abstract

The article proves the necessity, importance and relevance of ensuring the survival of military personnel by training them to build snow shelters that protect them when performing tasks in the harsh climatic conditions of the Far North. Human survival in extreme conditions depends on the arrangement of its Arctic settling. To escape the harsh conditions of the North and protect yourself from a blizzard, you can only use a snow shelter and a fire. In order for military personnel to perform combat tasks and survive in the harsh conditions of the Far North, they need to know various aspects of shelter construction. The article describes in detail a method of construction of various types of snow-shelter type snow hut, snow chum, snow hole, igloo. The authors describe under what conditions it is advisable to construct a particular structure from snow, showing their distinctive properties that need to be taken into account when determining the feasibility of their structures. The authors conclude that in order to successfully perform combat tasks in the Far North, military personnel of Arctic units need to know what classification of shelters from the adverse effects of the external climate environment of the Arctic to use for shelter equipment, be able to choose a place for construction, and also have skills in how to construct them.
