C. Max/Min: 45/20

D. Phone Number: OIC: 760.932.1730 and SNCOIC: 760.932.1468

PURPOSE: To train ground combat arms MOSs, sergeants through captains, in mountain warfare tactics, techniques, and procedures and to serve effectively as force multipliers to their units during combat operations in complex, compartmentalized, mountainous terrain. Graduates are capable of conducting pre-environment training for their units. Graduates are also qualified to be instructors at MCMWTC (this course is a Basic Mountain Warfare Instructor prerequisite).

SCOPE: This course of instruction is an integral part of the Mountain Warfare Training Center's unit training package and is designed to provide company grade officers, staff noncommissioned officers, and sergeants in academic instruction and field application in mountain warfare tactics, techniques, and procedures, including planning considerations across all six warfighting functions for combat operations in complex, compartmentalized, mountainous terrain. Historical case studies are used in highlighting numerous lessons learned. Students conduct operations in the local training area to familiarize them with operating in high altitude, mountainous terrain and on Mount Shasta to operate in very high altitude, alpine, and glaciated terrain.

PREREQUISITES: Ground combat MOSs (Sergeant through Captain). Students must complete a First Class on the Physical

Fitness Test within 30 days of reporting and again on Training Day-1. Information and details regarding the new USMC

Physical Fitness Test can be found at http://www.fitness.marines.mil/. Volunteers are recommended due to the intensity level and demanding nature of this training. Students must have no personal issues (legal, financial, etc.) as the training center is remote and no time will be provided in the course to handle such issues. Students must have 12 months remaining on service contract. Students must be medically qualified to participate in a demanding physical training program at high altitude (G6PD and sickle cell screened). This course is open to joint service and international students.
