Ok one thing is starting to bug me a bit when people claim that Americans go to India to learn about jungle counter insurgency seriously have you people heard of Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos? The British run jungle warfare schools in Borneo or Belize ? The French operated centres in French Guyana? As for mountain and extreme weather there are the alps, the Rockies and the north of Scandinavia for mountains.
I have been on courses in former eastern European countries and in central America.....guess what we didn't go to learn from them but to learn from lessons from previous experience.
Sorry to burst your bubble there.
It is not only Jungle Warfare.
It is also COUNTER INSURGENCY!
Iraq rings bell?
Afghanistan rings a bell?
As far as mountains and its weather, there is nothing to match the Himalayas!
The Americans claim that they are the last word in everything in the world and if they come to India to learn, obviously they have not seen the last thing in the world!
Sorry to burst everything!
Why don't you try the Siachen in addition to wherever you have gone!
I have been there and I assure you it was not pleasant!
