A 9-man Ranger Team main base, winter. In the background you can
see the all-terrain-vehicle, ATV (bandvagn). A main base
of this kind can be used for several weeks, or even months. Note
the white camoflage net that covers the entire main base,
supported by tree branches. Under this net you can conceal the
tent, the ATV and the snowmobiles. There is also sufficient space
under the net for every day things, such as eating and preparing
weapons and equipment for a mission.
Part of a Ranger team boarding a chopper. The difficult part is
getting in all the sleds and skis.

Moving swiftly and silently to the combat zone on skis.
This unfortunate Ranger has just fallen on his AK5. As you can
clearly see, this is not a very good idea.
Christmas dinner in the mess hall. A lot better than the freeze
dried stuff they call "food" we eat in the field.
