Blanket Dragging is mainly divided into two categories in the military: practical combat & field application, and physical fitness & tactical training.

I. Military Functions of Military Blankets (Survival & Logistical Support)

• Cold Resistance & Warmth Preservation: Core thermal gear for field operations, plateau missions and cold-region camping, preventing frostbite and hypothermia.

• Emergency Camouflage: White snow blankets and camouflage blankets conceal personnel and equipment to reduce visible light and infrared signatures.

• Battlefield First Aid: Used as stretchers or dragging mats for rapid casualty evacuation, saving physical strength especially on snowy and muddy terrain.

• Multi-purpose Utility: Serves as tent lining, moisture-proof mat, cloak and wound dressing; can also be cut into warm accessories such as gloves and earmuffs.

• Barracks Discipline Management: Standardized blanket folding fosters military discipline and standardized daily habits.

II. Common Forms of Blanket Dragging Training (Physical & Tactical)

Weighted Dragging Training

In pairs, one soldier lies on the blanket while the other drags it forward by ropes or blanket edges.

It builds upper-body strength, core stability and explosive power, simulating battlefield casualty rescue.

Team Cooperative Carrying

A team of 4 to 6 soldiers jointly drags a large blanket loaded with supplies such as ammo boxes and mannequins for coordinated movement.

It cultivates teamwork, pace control and unified force, boosting squad tactical coordination.

Auxiliary Cold-region & Field March Training

During cold-zone marches, soldiers wrap themselves in blankets or advance in formation via blanket dragging.

It enhances cold tolerance, physical endurance and field survival capabilities.

Anti-interference & Anti-reconnaissance Training

At night or in complex terrain, blankets shield heat sources and disperse thermal signatures to evade infrared detection.

III. Concise Summary

Military blankets are all-purpose survival gear as essential as military canteens; blanket dragging is a practical military training that strengthens physical strength, team coordination, battlefield rescue skills and cold resistance.
