That would be the best course of action they could do, Will it happen not likely unless the team plans it and sells it to Group, most will get acclimated once in county, hell 10th group is never ready for the heat wave over in Iraq with body armor on. it takes a week or two and lots of forced hydration, the biggest thing is be smart about it. get your house and equipment squared away before you go and run combat operations, that will give you and the team enuff time to get used to the new enviroment.
