I'm mainly thinking along the lines of how terrain has effected how the U.S military is structured and what technology they use. Since the 1990's the United States has fought several engagements in the Middle East which has significantly altered the technology their armed forces uses, an example of this can be seen with a focus on the air force and the development of drone technology.
What if the Middle East had remained peaceful and stable over the past thirty years, with the United States having no need to become involved in the region. What if instead chaos and instability developed in South America and the Malay Archipelago. These countries are both jungles, which would continue the focus on jungle warfare the United States had in Vietnam.
If this had happened how would the United States military be structured and what technology would they focus on or pay less attention to compared to OTL.
I'd love to get everyone's thoughts.
