Welcome to the Army Mountain Warfare School (AMWS). During this course, you will receive some of the finest training the US Army has to offer. Our instructors are ready to pass on knowledge gained from years of experience and multiple combat deployments.While you are here, our first concern is for your safety. For this reason, you must be totally focused and maintain situational awareness at all times. 2. Operating in the mountains presents two distinct yet related challenges; first is the severe affects that weather and the environment have on personnel and equipment and second thes evere impact the terrain has on unit mobility. How well you solve these tactical problems will directly affect your ability to take the fight to the enemy in level two and three terrain.The skills you learn here at AMWS are tools to help you and your unit solve these challenges. 3. In the mountains of Afghanistan we face an adaptive, clever enemy who uses the harsh environment to his advantage to operate against us. With specialized mountain warfare training and equipment we can use that same terrain to our advantage and seize the initiative away from the enemy. 4. Untrained and unprepared, the mountain environment can be your worst enemy. Properly trained and equipped, it can be your strongest ally. We will give you the training. The rest is up to you. “Training Mountain Warriors!”
