New School: Mountain Warfare

[Eric R.]

Mountain Warfare School
Located on Andoria, Earth and Vulcan the various facilities of this school are designed to prepare Ground Froce and Starfleet personnel in the special needs of the environment which both cold and dry mountain climates present to all personnel. It also trains the personnel who make up the 6 very tough Ground Force Mountain regiments as well as Rapid Response Team and Ranger Starfleet Security personnel
These troops are trained in the specialized nature of fighting in mountains and learn the skills which allow them to bring their previously learned skills to full effect such as rope climbing and mountain survival. The Advance school is divided into two main courses, one for ski troops and another for Mountain troops as while as the conducting of a Tactics & Survival school.
Most Mountain troops return to the school so they can completly master all the skills needed for their profession. Eventually all Mountain troop officers and Senior NCOs also return to take the Tactics & Survival school

I am also looking for a better name than just "Mountain Warfare School" Ideas please.

I am also thinking of expanding this more, an enlisted and officer overlay, a few commendations. tour of duty packages would there be any interest for this?

Just in writing this I can think of a Mountain Search and Rescue Course to add.

How about Mountinous Terrain Combat Training

I like the work that's going on here, it's very well thought out and has alot of potential. But at this rate we'll cover every specialty that is used by the US Army in SGF in a matter of time. Anyone like to comment on this?

OK, while I am not really that interested in the more militant Star Fleet I AM interested in developing this last package... I see a lot more potential for my games with specific packages for terrain specific survival courses...

Although, with the mountain training I would probably swap sled for climbing in a basic package, one open to all...

All right the overlays below are based on an idea for expanded overlays using 66 dp for officers and 48 dp for enlisted to represent elite troops. These are the first I have made and are too be considered very rough at this moment in time so be gentle.

if you don't like the idea fine either:
1.) remove 12 points worth and go from there.
2.) Skip advanced training and the cadet crusie in development.
3.) Use it in the free form method to just build with.

These can be used to build normal command or security officers with by picking the right tour of duty packages to make up the missing parts.
