Mission Brief
10th Mountain — the most deployed division in the U.S. Army, masters of mountain warfare.
The 10th Mountain Division has the distinction of being the most deployed division in the entire U.S. Army in the post-9/11 era, with its soldiers serving more cumulative tours in Iraq and Afghanistan than any comparable formation. Originally formed in World War II as a specialized mountain and winter warfare unit, the 10th Mountain fought decisive battles in the Italian Apennines in 1945 before evolving into one of the Army's premier light infantry divisions.
In Afghanistan's Kunar and Nuristan provinces — some of the most rugged and contested terrain in the country — 10th Mountain soldiers fought at altitudes exceeding 8,000 feet against Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters who knew every mountain trail. Operations like the Battle of Wanat in 2008 demonstrated both the courage of 10th Mountain soldiers and the lethal challenges of fighting determined insurgents in high-altitude mountain terrain.
For modern U.S. Army collectors and mountain warfare enthusiasts aged 12 and up.
