Purpose
- Throughout the course of history, armies have been significantly
affected by the requirement to fight in the mountains. With approximately
38 percent of the world’s landmass classified as mountains,
the Army must be prepared to deter conflicts, resist coercion,
and defeat aggression in mountains as in other areas.
- The purpose of the SQI "E" Course, Military Mountaineer,
is to train soldiers in the specialized skills required for operating
in mountainous terrain, under all climatic conditions, day and
night.
- These courses teach soldiers how to use adverse terrain and
weather conditions to their advantage as a combat multiplier.
This aids in preserving the unit strength and combat power to
achieve mission success.
