Did the geographical location of a soldier's hometown effect which theater, or which area, he would be deployed to? I recently listened to Dan Carlin's Supernova in the East where he spoke of different soldiers having different fears. While cold could affect one soldier badly, a different one might be ill-fitted to tropical surroundings.

So, would a soldier from North Dakota be more likely to be deployed to a colder climate area, as he is more acclimated to the weather, or even the topography of a certain area? I've heard of the stories learned during both World Wars where the UK and the US learned not to have whole neighborhoods or generations from certain towns in the same regiment, as it could diminish morale back home. But would the drafting process take soldiers from multiple regions in the south-west United States - say California, Phoenix, Nevada, and New Mexico - and be more likely to deploy them in the Pacific than in Europe?

Did the deploying process at all take into factors of how soldiers were used to geographical, topographical, and meteorological features of their areas of upbringing?
