Sled.

This is coolbert:

When the machine stops, the dog keeps going. When the machine stops, the reindeer keep going.

From the Barents Observer and thanks to same.

1. "Mushers from Russia’s Arctic Brigade ride sleds along border to Finland"

"musher:  a person who competes in cross-country races with dog team and sled."

RUSSIAN MILITARY DOG SLEDDERS!

"With weapons on the shoulders, infantry solders learn how to traverse Arctic borderlands with dogs."

"The first dogs arrived in the Northern Fleet base of Alakurtti  earlier this year and local servicemen have since been engaged in training in the forest lands along the border to nearby Finland."

"Dog sledding has now been included in the regular training of intelligence personnel in the Arctic Brigade. It is the soldiers with the best skills in skiing that have chosen for the mushing, the Northern Fleet informs."

THAT USE OF ANIMALS AS USED FOR SLED TRANSPORT HARDLY CONFINED TO DOGS!

2. "Arctic Brigade riding reindeer"

"Elite soldiers from the Northern Fleet team up with local Sámi herders"

"Sami: The Sami people are a Finno-Ugric people inhabiting Sápmi, which today encompasses large parts of Norway and Sweden, northern parts of Finland, and the Murmansk Oblast of Russia."

"In a show-off of skills, Russian Arctic brigadiers move over the snow in sleds pulled by reindeer and dogs while gun fire sends echoes over the training ground."

REINDEER IN CONTRAST TO DOGS ALSO ABLE TO FORAGE FREELY. ABLE TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES WITHOUT RESUPPLY.

Danish troops during Greenland Sovereignty Patrols [SOVPAT] also employing dog sleds.

THE OLD WAYS ARE OFTEN THE BEST WAYS?
