This is a styrofoam/karrimat seat, protecting you form getting cold/kindey disease while sitting on the frozen ground.

Well, if you sit on the cold ground for a long time, you can get fever and several diseases. One of them is problem with kidneys, if they get cold (pardon me, I don`t know proper medical terms) they work ineffectively. That`s why one uses insulation karrimat or similar stuff - not for comfort, but for health. And if you want to sit somewhere that is cold and/or wet place, and you want to spare your health, you use such a seat. Just like here, for example:
Carry-on seat
Useful during trips into difficult terrain and during unfavorable weather. Provides place to rest

I think some UK yompers would consider such a seat is a good idea, while they go for deployment to Norway - for example.

?? Legion.
Quite a numer of American veterans in it too, also British and Australian. Their policy of taking exclusively soldiers ( except for medical staff ) hasn't changed so far, since far more people want to join than them losing any.
