What's in the kit - The Slovenian mountaineering soldier ⛰️🇸🇮

Mountain warfare requires specialist tactical and technical training. A physically fit soldier does not necessarily mean they will perform adequately at high altitude. The body must adjust to thinner mountain air and needs to develop climbing muscles. The NATO Mountain Warfare Centre of Excellence in Slovenia runs courses for NATO Allies and partners to help their armed forces prepare for mountainous environments. To be able to operate in the mountains, soldiers need to be able to carry a lot of kit. In this piece, First Warrant Officer Sebastian Silar from the NATO Mountain Warfare Centre of Excellence explains what a soldier deployed to the mountains usually carries in their backpacks.

Slovenia is very mountainous for sure so it makes for some great training.

Went to Slovenia in 1996. Still remember sitting on the train from Maribor to Koper on the coast. Always click of videos featuring Slovenia. Top work Slovenia, top work NATO.

Nice to see the gear that NATO troops have, and also seeing the joint-exercises as I saw one of my Polish brothers there, good job.

Excellent choices for the backpack. ✌️💚☘️

[@dommslayerx]

Whats the name of the backpack?

[@thegamingduck7199]

i hope one day to see Sweden in one of these videos

[@theeaselrider4032]

I found that very interesting, and would love to see more of the mountain training. I noticed there was no mention of a shelter of any kind, even an emergency one. I would think that's something they would need.
