Special Operation Soldiers must be prepared to work in all environmental extremes, frequently with little or no preparation time. While working in extreme heat or cold is uncomfortable, little preparation is necessary as long as reasonably fit Soldiers remain properly nourished, hydrated, or clothed. Working at high altitude poses additional risks that can be pharmacologically mitigated. While new prophylactic therapies are appearing on the scene in mountaineering and high-altitude climbing circles, acetazolamide still appears to be the preferred drug for the prevention of altitude related illness.
特种作战士兵必须做好在各种极端环境下工作的准备，而且往往几乎没有准备时间。虽然在酷热或严寒环境中工作会让人不适，但只要身体状况尚可的士兵保持适当的营养、水分摄入或穿着合适，就无需太多准备。在高海拔地区工作会带来额外风险，这些风险可以通过药物缓解。虽然登山和高海拔攀登领域出现了新的预防疗法，但乙酰唑胺似乎仍是预防高原相关疾病的首选药物。
