The unique combination of thin air, freezing temperatures, and mountainous terrain that forms the high altitude environment has resisted advances in military technology for centuries, The emergence of precision warfare has altered the nature of warfare on most of the world's surface, yet has not significantly changed the conduct of ground combat at high altitude, The tactics that lead to victory on the high altitude battlefield have remained constant over time This thesis examines the impact of the high altitude environment on soldiers, their weapons, and military operations, and identifies the lessons of the 1999 Kargil Conflict that are relevant to future high altitude combat Combat at altitudes approaching 18,000 feet (5,485 m) above sea level between India and Pakistan at Kargil illustrates the timeless nature of high altitude warfare, U,S, combat experiences in the mountains of Afghanistan in 2002 parallel those of the combatants at Kargil despite the overwhelming technological advantage of U,S, forces, Trained and well-equipped light infantry is the only force capable of decisive maneuver in mountainous terrain, Heavy volumes of responsive firepower, in concert with bold maneuver, determine victory, Artillery, rather than air power, remains the preferred source of firepower to support ground maneuver.

Released April 2020. This handbook is for leader training for operating in a mountainous environment. This is the first edition of this handbook, based on first-hand observations and a review of current and past Army doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) by operational advisors from or attached to the Asymmetric Warfare Group (AWG). Recently, many additional Army references dealing with this subject have been created or updated, following more than 10 years of combat experience and identification of best practices in the mountains of Afghanistan. These documents address individual or squad-level tasks and concerns. In this handbook, AWG will address the principal gap of informing leaders and staff of the considerations necessary to plan, operate, fight, and win in mountainous terrain at the company level and above. Many charts, references, and examples from other Army publications are incorporated into this handbook where appropriate. The information contained in this handbook is a result of observations made by AWG unit members conducting operations in mountainous terrain worldwide, and a review of Army doctrine. The Army Mountain Warfare School, Northern Warfare Training Center, Ranger Training Brigade, sister-services, and allied institutions provided additional insights. The observations in this handbook are Geographic Combatant Command (GCC) agnostic and adaptable to mountain operations throughout the world. Mountains present leaders and units with unique challenges that compound existing difficult combat realities. The adverse environmental conditions in the mountains can make basic tasks seem almost impossible.

The United States has been in a mountain war in Afghanistan for almost a decade. Other nations have different, extensive experience in training and conduction mountain combat. Les Grau and Chuck Bartles gathered this experience in a detailed study aimed at being of use both to military professionals and others with an interest in military operations in mountainous terrain. Chapters include small and large unit actions, reconnaissance, artillery, small arms fire, logistics, communications, medicine and aviation. Much experience is drawn from Soviet efforts in Afghanistan during the 1980s, and modern Russian army training. The text is complemented by numerous maps and diagrams.

The twentieth century saw an unprecedented emphasis on fighting in all terrains, seasons and weather conditions. Such conditions made even basic survival difficult as subzero temperatures caused weapons to jam, engines to seize up and soldiers to suffer frostbite, snow blindness and hypothermia. The conditions often favoured small groups of mobile, lightly armed soldiers, rather than the armoured forces or air power that dominated other combat environments. Some European armies developed small numbers of specialist alpine troops before and during World War I, but these proved to be insufficient as nearly all the major combatants of World War II found themselves fighting for extended periods in extremely hostile cold-weather and/or alpine environments. Drawing upon manuals, memoirs and unit histories and illustrated with period tactical diagrams and specially commissioned full-colour artwork, this study sheds new light on the winter-warfare tactics and techniques of the US, British, German, Soviet and Finnish armies of World War II.

Some Principles of Frontier Mountain Warfare by W.D. Bird is about the tactics and strategies used while going to war on a mountain. Excerpt: "The strength and organization of a force destined to undertake operations against the transborder clans of the Indian frontier are naturally conditioned by the physical features of the area, by its fertility, and by the numbers, character, organization, and armament of its inhabitants. It has been truly said that in war every available man should be employed, for one can never be too strong, but this aphorism is always qualified by the number of men that can be fed in the district which is to form the seat of war."

Welcome to the Army Mountain Warfare School (AMWS). During this course, you will receive some of the finest training the US Army has to offer. Our instructors are ready to pass on knowledge gained from years of experience and multiple combat deployments.While you are here, our first concern is for your safety. For this reason, you must be totally focused and maintain situational awareness at all times. 2. Operating in the mountains presents two distinct yet related challenges; first is the severe affects that weather and the environment have on personnel and equipment and second thes evere impact the terrain has on unit mobility. How well you solve these tactical problems will directly affect your ability to take the fight to the enemy in level two and three terrain.The skills you learn here at AMWS are tools to help you and your unit solve these challenges. 3. In the mountains of Afghanistan we face an adaptive, clever enemy who uses the harsh environment to his advantage to operate against us. With specialized mountain warfare training and equipment we can use that same terrain to our advantage and seize the initiative away from the enemy. 4. Untrained and unprepared, the mountain environment can be your worst enemy. Properly trained and equipped, it can be your strongest ally. We will give you the training. The rest is up to you. “Training Mountain Warriors!”
