These battles included small unit tactics, adaptability, initiative, survivability, and local knowledge. The winter conditions during the Revolutionary War affected the American Army. Germany with their allies numbering millions invades Russia. Initially the invasion is a huge success until the winter arrives. The Finland Armys arctic warfare training and tactics contributed to the defeat of a larger and better-equipped Russian Army during the Winter War. Arctic Warfare lessons learned showed failure of the U.S. Army by identifying shortfalls in equipping, operating and surviving during combat operations in an arctic environment.
