Abstract

The article discusses the need for the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division to adapt its logistics and sustainment strategies for operations in alpine terrain. The division recognizes the strategic advantages of mountainous terrain demonstrated by adversaries like China and Russia and aims to maintain overmatch capabilities. The article emphasizes the importance of specialization, physical fitness, and lighter, more adaptable equipment in alpine operations. It also discusses various logistical challenges and considerations, the integration of emerging technologies, and the need for modernization in munitions management and logistics. The document provides brief profiles of two individuals who have served in the U.S. Army, highlighting their experiences and expertise. [Extracted from the article]
