How Army Soldiers Survive The Grueling 14-Day Mountain School | Boot Camp

Video Description

As ice caps in the arctic have melted and uncovered new shipping lanes and highly sought-after resources, the US Army has announced a new arctic strategy to establish a dominant presence and compete against countries like Russia and China. Key to this new strategy is the Army Mountain Warfare School in Jericho, Vermont, where soldiers are being trained on mountaineering, cold-weather skills, and high-elevation tactics. Business Insider’s senior producer Jake Gabbard spent 14 days inside the Army Mountain Warfare School, where service members train to fight, move, and survive in extreme cold temperatures and mountainous terrain. Fifty-one students begin the course, and only 40 will make it to graduation. 00:00 - Introduction 00:22 - Competition & Stakes 01:31 - Day 1: Arrival 03:56 - Day 2: Meet The Students 06:19 - Day 3: Winter Movement 07:02 - Cold-Weather Gear 11:10 - Day 4: Obstacle Climb 13:06 - Castle Rock Climb 13:58 - MRE Lunch Break 15:07 - Rappelling 16:30 - Day 5: Low Energy 17:14 - Altimeter Class 17:56 - Day 6: Land Navigation Test 24:01 - Day 7: Knot Tying Test 29:47 - Dismissed Students 31:31 - History Of Mountain Training 32:21 - Army Arctic Strategy 32:47 - Day 8: Camping 36:02 - Ice Wall Climbing 37:13 - Day 9: Lowering Systems 38:54 - Day 10: High-Angle Range 40:36 - Day 11: Casevac Test 43:37 - Well Lowering 45:13 - Day 12: OP Hill Round Robin 47:52 - Day 13: Culminating Event 53:18 - Day 14: Graduation 54:02 - The Future Of Mountain Warfare 55:39 - Credits Read "How I survived 2 weeks filming the Army's grueling mountain warfare school hiking in subzero temperatures and waist-high snow": https://trib.al/3l8sX8C ------------------------------------------------------ #army #russia #businessinsider #bootcamp MORE VIDEOS: How I Survived 14 Days In The Grueling Army Mountain School | Boot Camp Podcast | Business Insider https://youtu.be/fHcSuHNRWk0 How Marine Recruits Survive Boot Camp In San Diego | Boot Camp | Business Insider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LoaGxCFsGQ How Navy Submarine Cooks Feed 150 Sailors At Sea | Boot Camp | Business Insider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDr74_wV3qo Business Insider tells you all you need to know about business, finance, tech, retail, and more.
