Correct. MoD policy when people are posted to extreme climates is to keep them on light duties and no single person tasks until they have acclimatised.

I know this as I have done 3 extremes - Arctic Circle, Desert and Jungle. TBH never really struggled with extremes once I was settled in but last year especially some days I started to feel the onset of Heat Exhaustion and that's with me knowing how to combat it as well.
