- The Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center located near Bridgeport, Calif., trains service members to survive and fight in cold weather and mountainous environments across 46,000 acres of the Toiyabe National Forest.
I was in pickle meadows as a young royal marine in 2004. Fantastic training area, always great to drill with our USMC colleagues. Remarkable place, great memories!
I was the youngest instructor there at age 19 in 1989. We had a Color Sargent from British special forces as an advisor. Their mountain/cold weather training is outstanding.
I passed through the Training Center on my way to Bridgeport in the summer. The pines don't grow much in here and the terrain looks gnarly. Winters must be so tough. My respect goes to these guys.
I was stationed in MMWTC Bridgeport in 1990 was there for 8 months. This was my last duty station and it is absolutely beautiful up in those mountains.
I was there April 1977 till April 1978 Motor Transport good times. SEMPER FI OORAH.😎🇺🇸👍
I've been up Sonora Pass, and that area has some of the most brutal terrain and weather that I have seen throughout this state.
Still have a map of Sonora Pass! Mountain Warfare 1981
Im from the Netherlands did Summer and Winter mountain leader course at MCMWTC in 1999 awesome time
I was there in 2000 as a New Zealand SAS soldier attached to the British SBS. Awesome time
If only the 2 months of being there is as easy as this video looks. Whether summer or winter it's an awesome experience.
It's not lol. That mountain has broken some souls lmao
Thank God for The United States Armed Forces, especially The United States Marine Corps!
It was the summer when my platoon went through Bridgeport. We had Jungle school at FT Sherman, Panama and Arctic warfare at Ft. Wainwright Alaska. We never had Sandbox training because the stupid sandbox wasn't a priority back then. Now it seems to be the US's only priority.
Been there many times when I was in the Boy Scouts we would train along side the Marines its only about an hour or so North of me on the 108 Sonora Pass
Grew up in Tamarack, CA. One highway north of 108 on Hyw 4. First time I applied to go to Pickle Meadow there was a waiting list as long as my arm of Marines that wanted to go there. Still pretty sure that someone happened to look at my SRB and saw where I came from and thought yeah, he might do pretty good there.
They should do this school in the mountains in Colorado.
Summer mtn leader course, still sucked but im so glad i did it.
Semper Fi Devil Dogs! I was stationed here back in 99' -01'! It was a very beautiful location and place, but sucked if you didn't have transportation to get around or drive to the nearest cities. Other than that, made some really great friends and I keep in touch with most of my brothers and sisters to this day! ❤💛
Awesome. Semper Fi
My dad helped establish this base in the early 1950’s.
I was a Red Hat during the late 90s. Awesome assignment!
I trained there its high above see level 7000ft where as in Norway its sea level but same skills needed to train ,skis still the best to travel long distances with heavy loads,,,,,,Royal Marines
Hi! How many Marines going thru that Mountain Warfare course and how long it´s? Nice to see you guys train this skills because north europe it's very nasty place in winter time..
Nobody is crazy enough to start a war in North Europa, Merkel is crazy but not that crazy and war-mongering Hitlery Clinton isn-t president, so we are safe. Russia can only be taken by Russians perhaps by Finnish Troops this had to be learned by both Napoleon and Hitler, even the Swedes got a bloody nose in Russia.
@@jurgbangerter1023 Long live Finland! 3 wars against russia/Soviets and still standing strong and independent 1917 - 2021.
How come Marines aren’t using winter cammies?
It looks like a ski resort, nice
Lol, with hiking 100 pound packs, having a motivated Staff NCO who likes to run up the mountains and down, sleeping in subzero temperatures, learning how to fire your weapon in freezing weather, all the while there is an oxygen constraint because of high altitude - some ski resort that sounds like fun!!! Hallabanga!!!
im a graduate
Congratulations, did you get to volunteer or were you voluntold? And are those billets in high demand?
Pickle Bunker still there?
Voice narrator from Bar Rescue?
Are they apart of a special regiment or group, or is this just a course to accomplish?
It all depends on the Unit.
infantry battalions
Units train for all different climes .
If you follow the Marine Corps hymn , you will get the jist of what battalions and divisions do. We are all over the globe. Semper Fi Devil Dogs!!
This was the dumbest training ive ever been to. Totally pointless and a waste of money.
Very Amateurish Mountain Training, shooting standing using ski poles as tripods what a BS, in real You battle You would lie down fast, most Marines have even have to learn how to ski as in real mountaineering troops they would walk up a mountain using skins. They have excellent Winter equipment probably copied of the Canadian Rangers and Infantery units such as in Val Jacques Cartier.
I'm impressed how you were able to say everything incorrectly. 🙂
