If you're going to throw an Indonesian volcano into the mix:

1) You could put in some non-combat problems and casualties due to the fact that volcanic ash contains a good amount of what is basically glass. If you're close enough and sudden enough, you could have mass casualties from lung damage and eye damage.

2) Ground vehicles are not particularly fond of that glass either. They're not as vulnerable as a human being or a plane, but if you don't change your air and oil filters enough, those vehicles could come to a (literally) grinding halt. Fun not only for the troops using the vehicles, but for the supply guys.

3) Krakatoa's making noises like it might erupt again -- it might be fun to have it go off during an Indonesian campaign.

4) And then, just for S&G, there are always earthquakes and tsunamis!
