Islamic Federation, like every other nations
(excepting who, the Scandanavians?) own a fair variety
of planets.  Presumably, all these planets are
reoughly spherical, have a least a little axial tilt,
and possibly at least a little orbital eccentricity. 
At least some of them have significant bodies of
water--otherwise would make lousy colonization
projects.

Many popular SF movies to the contrary, all these
factors combine to create a wide variety of climates
on these planets.  Hence there are some Islamic
Federation artic units.  Others are light infantry
recruited from near-jungle areas.  Yet others are
central units with recruits from all sorts of climates
who do training exercises in a variety of conditions. 
Rather like the US Army, where a unit can be deployed
to Kuwait one year, and Kosovo two years later.
