PH Coll 1408.219 The 10th Mountain Division, established in 1918, is a light infantry unit in the U.S. Army, specializing in mountain and winter warfare. Following the success of Finnish fighters on skis against the invading Russians in World War II, the 10th Mountain Division was activated as a unit to conduct warfare in cold, adverse conditions. While its main training camp at the time was Camp Hale in Colorado, much training was accomplished in Mount Rainier National Park, where the division took advantage of Mount Rainier's Arctic conditions and high elevations to train for winter warfare and ice climbing. Following the completion of training, the 10th Mountain Division was shipped out to Italy to fight against Nazi Germany.
