I owned a computer shop near a military base and was always replacing fans and cleaning the inside of laptops owned by soldiers returning from the Middle East. Holy shit that dust is impossibly fine in texture... cooling fans sucked it in and coated every surface inside. I honestly don't know how anybody could breathe that and stay functioning.
I was never deployed but worked in muddy construction environments. Pits and such. Generally we used metal steps attached to vehicles to scrape as much off. The back end of a field knife works pretty well. A pallet always was useful if deployed at the entrance to trailers.
One time it rained MUD. I shit you not.
The dust is like talcum powder, this way on Camp Taji.
thise scarf the hadji always have , they have many uses for dust or they wet them and put them around there neck for cooling.
Yes that is not fog its dust.

After rain the mud was like baby shit then you had 5 lbs of stone stuck to each foot and had to scrape it off.
