The “Mountain” title is an historical title only. They are not mountain troops, but Light infantry, capable of fighting in any environment.

You seem woefully ignorant of history.

The 10th Mountain Division originated at Camp Hale

The history of Camp Hale

Camp Hale is located between 10.000 feet and 14.000 feet in altitude.

Considerably better for training a Mountain Division than at sea level.

If you want to take me on in a military history match, I’m up for it.

Camp Hale is a part of the World War II history of the division and they have not been a mountain division since the end of that war. In fact, except for the attack on Mount Belvedere, they did not use their mountain training in the fighting in Italy. Your ignorance of their current mission and organization is leading you to make really stupid remarks. Keep at it if you wish.
