Many years ago, it was suggested to me that a good place for a soldier to sleep in the field was the rut in the ground that is created when a heavy tracked vehicle such as a M.B. Tank moves over soft ground. I thought at the time, and still do, that the only problem with this idea is if another vehicle moves over the same bit of ground during the night while you are asleep.

Do soldiers actually sleep in track ruts often while in the field?
