Mountain Warfare

Mountain warfare refers to military operations conducted in rugged, elevated terrain, where natural obstacles like steep slopes, rocky paths, and harsh weather conditions significantly impact tactics and strategy. Troops must adapt to the challenges of altitude, such as reduced oxygen levels, and may require specialized training and equipment. Historically, conflicts in mountainous regions, such as the Himalayas or the Alps, have demanded unconventional strategies, including guerrilla tactics and the use of small, mobile units. Successful mountain warfare relies on understanding the terrain, logistical support, and the ability to maneuver troops effectively in challenging environments.
