I believe scotch should be consumed at around 60F, maybe in the range between 55F and 65F. That is the ambient temperature in higher latitudes one a nice summer night."Only Nixon can go to China." -- Old Vulcan proverb.

In the US military, using the Colonel's scenario, a US brigade combat team and/or MEB has internal limited water purification and production capability. Follow on forces provide bulk. For assault palletized makes a LOT more sense. Additionally every soldier gets water purification tablets.“Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.”

If possible ice can be shipped forward from ice plants (civilian or military) but that is limited. It is a real morale boost.

He said the Americans had the spare capacity to ship a fresh cake from Boston across the Atlantic to the front line of France. Germany was doomed."There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish. The thing is to try to do as much as you can in the time that you have.
