HEAT TREATMENT

The video discusses the Paras undergoing scientific trials to study the effects of heat and evaluate tropical ration packs, following the Kuwait operation. The trials involved climbing the Devil's Punchbowl in Surrey with heavy equipment, similar to a previous climb in Aden. At the top, various tests were conducted, including water consumption, atmospheric conditions, and medical checks. The medical tests were as challenging as the endurance trials themselves.
