How long must a soldier normally stay on that assignment?

 

[blueblood]

Six months IIRC.

I think it is a 90-day period of stay.

Hence, 14 pairs of thermal socks per individual are given for a 90-day stay so that the problem of washing at the posts is eliminated. But soldiers have to wash their clothing before depositing it back and leaving the glacier.

Swamy writes to PM opposing any move to demilitarise Siachen
Press Trust of India / New Delhi October 25, 2012, 21:15
Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy today urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh not to accept any proposal to demilitarise the Siachen Glacier.

In a letter to Singh, he said Track 2 teams comprising military officers from India and Pakistan are learnt to have recommended to the Government to demilitarise Siachen Glacier area where "814 soldiers have died so far".

"I expect you will not agree to such an abject surrender of a strategic area," Swamy wrote.
The Janata Party chief also met Defence Minister A K Antony to raise the issue.

Doc, for some good reason they dont put magazine in rifle, may be they dont want it to jam in freezing cold.
