I trained at 29 Palms/Ft. Irwin years ago in 113 degree heat. We followed the Israel prescription of downing a quart of water every half hour. Even if I didn’t feel thirsty, that quart went down easily. We kept the heat strokes down to a minimum.

Yep. We got smart quick. The order went out. Every swinging d-— had to drink on the half hour. NCO’s or whoever was in charge of your detail had to see you do it.
