Army Mountain & Cold Weather Training Command

Recommended Posts

The 1st Special Service Force trained in winter warfare at Ft Harrison in Montana. They were supposed to go on a Norway mission but it was cancelled. They ended up in the Aleutians and Italy.

I put many a mile on their hideous Army 1943 model skis and snowshoes. Not much fun in the mountains of Bavaria and far upstate New York carrying hideous mountain rucksacks.

Oh the talesI could tell.

:D

The part in New York - was that Fort Drum by any chance? Parts of the 10th Mountain Division from there have spent a lot of time in Afghanistan.
