Army Mountain Warfare School

The Army Mountain Warfare School (AMWS) is a training institution in the United States, primarily located in Vermont. It teaches military personnel essential skills for operations in mountainous and rugged terrains. Soldiers learn techniques in land navigation, survival, climbing, skiing, and other specialized skills necessary for mountain warfare. The goal is to prepare them for challenging environments, enhance their physical fitness, teamwork, and operational effectiveness. AMWS plays a crucial role in ensuring that troops can effectively engage in missions where traditional methods may not apply due to the unique challenges posed by mountainous regions.
