The global missions of the U.S. Army mean that Soldiers can, and often do, find themselves in a variety of challenging environments. If that terrain is steep and deep, as it is in the rugged peaks of Afghanistan or the crags of Kazakhstan, then special training is needed to make an ally of the ground instead of letting it be an impediment. That's where the Army Mountain Warfare School (AMWS) in Jericho, Vermont, comes in by providing the necessary higher education.
The mission of the AMWS is to train Soldiers in the specialized skills needed to operate in mountainous terrain, regardless of the weather or time of day or night.
