TOKYO/BEIJING/NEW YORK -- Underground bunkers with kerosene-fed lamps to fight off subzero temperatures. High-tech, armored snow gear designed to protect from harsh weather as well as incoming fire. Helipads built to evacuate the many soldiers who suffer from high-altitude sickness at 16,000 feet.
Even the insides of T-72 and T-90 tanks offer a warm respite from the chafing, bitter Himalayan cold.
