Mountain Warfare

Mountains establish formal and informal boundaries and barriers. When conflicts erupt in these rugged areas, commanders are presented with unique operational challenges, such as mountainous terrain, snow, and cold weather. Since the Marine Corps is an expeditionary force designed to fight in any clime and place, it must project force rapidly, sustain itself, and accomplish missions in any conditions.

The Marine air-ground task force satisfies rapid-deployment requirements. For a unit to succeed, commanders and leaders must address environmental challenges and obtain the requisite skills, special equipment, and training required for the success of their units.
