Booker in the snow during arctic testing. It only happened once and iirc images like this were only posted on linkedin, so it's almost lost media already.
Though coincidentally, looks like somebody found smaller versions just the other day: https://twitter.com/saturn74954/status/2007784157590733279

>Japan Ground Self-Defense Force soldiers use cover to throw snowballs during a snowball fight championship for Forest Light 16-2 in Yausubetsu Training Area, Hokkaido, Japan, Jan. 31, 2016. The snowball game consisted of integrated teams of U.S. Marines and JGSDF soldiers fighting to capture the flag. The exercise strengthens military partnership, solidifies regional security agreements and improves individual and unit-level skills.

How is this such a basic but /k/ino combination?
>Plain white snow suit, no gay digital pattern
>Simple chest rig worn on the outside if anything
>Zastava M70 underfolder
>Headband with nationality, beanie, cap, steel helmet or white balaclava (if gooning)
Much prefer this to modern fully kitted out operators

Dutch nylon overwhites (identical with bong ones), bong lightweight goretex jacket in MTP camo, oldschool Artkis DPM chest rig, olive green Berghaus Crusader 90 backpack with zip-on sidepockets, cheapo Decathlon fleece hat, L1A1 with surgical tape camo and aluminum radio mast section. I believe you could steal this look for about 250 bucks sans rifle.

Austrian Schwarzlose machine gun mountain unit between Monte Cevedale and the Gran Zebrù, Northern Italy, c. 1917.
The Italian Front, known in German as the Gebirgskrieg ("Mountain war"), was the front that saw hostilities between Austria-Hungary and Italy during World War I. After secret promises made in the Treaty of London, Italy entered the war to take Austria-Hungary southern territories. This manoeuvre was intended to be fast and to take the Austrians at another front. The Austrians, however, answered the offensive with trench warfare and gained terrain into Italy, eventually being defeated when general Díaz took command over general Cadorna and pushed over the Veneto.
