This book reviews the research pertaining to nutrient requirements
for working in cold or in high-altitude environments and states
recommendations regarding the application of this information to
military operational rations. It addresses whether, aside from
increased energy demands, cold or high-altitude environments elicit
an increased demand or requirement for specific nutrients, and
whether performance in cold or high-altitude environments can be
enhanced by the provision of increased amounts of specific
nutrients. Table of Contents Front Matter I: Committee Summary and
