| SAND VIPERS are trained and equipped to operate in deserts as hostile to human life as the Sahara and the Mojave. The ability to endure high temperatures, blistering sun, and a total lack of water is the prime requirement for a SAND VIPER candidate. In addition to total proficiency with the entire range of COBRA small arms, the SAND VIPER is also expected to maintain and repair his weapons under conditions that are highly destructive to finely machined metal parts. His body armor is capable of deflecting shrapnel and most pistol bullets. The armor is actually the outer layer of a watertight suit that retains, purifies, and recycles body moisture to keep them cool and hydrated. The suit allows SAND VIPERS to function in extremely arid environments for extended periods without a re-supply of water.
"Stalk like a lion, sting like a scorpion, vanish like a mirage."

The ability to endure high temperatures, blistering sun, and total lack of water is the prime requirement for a SAND VIPER candidate, in addition to total proficiency with the entire range of COBRA small arms. The SAND VIPER is also expected to maintain and repair his weapons under conditions that are highly destructive to finely machined metal parts.

The suit allows SAND VIPER troops to function in extremely arid environments for extended periods without a re-supply of water.
