Filename: Classified
Primary Military Speciality: Arctic Operations

Birthplace: Various Countries
Snow Serpents are the Arctic Specialist branch of the Eels (Cobra frogmen). They must undergo the same rigorous training programme as the Eels, with the addition of a six month cold weather course somewhere above the Arctic Circle. Other aspects of the training include airborne operations (under arctic conditions), anti-tank procedures and the use of snow shoes, skis, and kayaks.
"If the Eels are the elite of Cobra's naval branch, then the Snow Serpents are the best of the best. How else could you characterise an individual who would parachute onto an ice floe in sub-zero temperatures and then be prepared to march 50 miles with full field pack, assault rifle, and anti-tank weapon?"
