Fighting, Enduring, Surviving: Inside Mountain Peak
Soldiers assigned to 1st Brigade, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry), tested their combat readiness during Mountain Peak, Oct. 20-29, at Fort Drum, New York. The force-on-force exercise challenged Soldiers to fight, endure and survive against a near-peer adversary through realistic offensive and defensive operations, while integrating reconnaissance, fires, emerging technologies and prolonged field medical care. Through initiatives like Project Valkyrie, Soldiers also practiced sustaining casualties in austere environments when evacuation and medical supplies may be limited. Mountain Peak provided the brigade an opportunity to evaluate tactics, refine capabilities and identify areas for improvement ahead of its January 2027 Joint Readiness Training Center rotation, reinforcing its ability to deploy and fight when called upon.
