Conditions will be encountered in mountains that have a significant effect on. military operations. Mountain operations require, among other things^ special equipment, special training and acclimatization, and a high decree of self-discipline if operations are to succeed. Mountains of military significance are generally characterized by rugged compartmented terrain witn\steep slopes and few natural or manmade lines of communication. Weather in these mountains is seasonal and reaches across the entireSspectrum from extreme cold, with ice and snow in most regions during me winter, to extreme heat in some regions during the summer. AlthoughNthese extremes of weather are important planning considerations, the variability of weather over a short period of time—and from locality to locahty within the confines of a small area—also significantly influences tactical operations. Historically, the focal point of mountain operations has been the battle to control the heights. Changes in weaponry and equipment have not altered this fact. In all but the most extreme conditions of terrain and weather, infantry, with its light equipment and mobility, remains the basic maneuver force in the mountains. With proper equipment and training, it is ideally suited for fighting the close-in battfe commonly associated with mountain warfare. Mechanized infantry can\also enter the mountain battle, but it must be prepared to dismount and conduct operations on foot.

  • Crab Crawl on the Bezingi Wall
    JOSE LUIS BERMUDEZ Crab Crawl on the Bezingi Wall (Plates 33,34) 'vou may bivouac here,' said the saturnine Yuri Saratov, pointing his 1 finger somewhere to the leftmost end of the long panoramic photo of the Bezingi Wall. He looked hard at us and walked about four paces to his right: 'Next bivouac,' he commented, pointing straight in front of him. Then, in case we hadn't got the message, he swung his arm back to the left and intoned: 'No bivouacs from Shkhara Main to Shkhara West.' By his standards he was being rather chirpy. Saratov's usual reaction to a pro­ posed route was to pore over his prized collection of photos and point out the noted accident blackspots of the last thirty years. 'Any questions?' he asked, after informing us that the control time was eight days. We had none. 'You will take radio,' he commanded. We didn't have the heart to argue. It was, after all, the Russian way. Our call sign was Saturn 28. We were there because I had found myself in the peculiar position of being a modest, although published, authority on an area I had never vis­ ited, or even gone near - the Central Caucasus. When the peer pressure became intolerable I finally decided to investigate my own description of the Caucasus as a natural playground for the adventurous climber, com­ bining the grandeur of the Himalaya with the accessibility and technical challenge of the Alps, etc, etc. One of my worries was how awful it would be to flog all the way there only to discover 600 miles of snow-covered slag heaps crawling with trigger-happy Chechens.

  • Security Council Distr.: General 18 July 2007
    United Nations S/2007/439 Security Council Distr.: General 18 July 2007 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Abkhazia, Georgia I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 1752 (2007) of 13 April 2007, by which the Security Council decided to extend the mandate of the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) until 15 October 2007. It provides an update of the situation in Abkhazia, Georgia since my report of 3 April 2007 (S/2007/182). 2. My Special Representative, Jean Arnault, continued to lead the Mission. He was assisted by the Chief Military Observer, Major General Niaz Muhammad Khan Khattak (Pakistan). The strength of UNOMIG on 1 July 2007 stood at 135 military observers and 16 police officers (see annex). II. Political process 3. During the reporting period, UNOMIG continued efforts to maintain peace and stability in the zone of conflict. It also sought to remove obstacles to the resumption of dialogue between the Georgian and Abkhaz sides in the expectation that cooperation on security, the return of internally displaced persons and refugees, economic rehabilitation and humanitarian issues would facilitate meaningful negotiations on a comprehensive political settlement of the conflict, taking into account the principles contained in the document entitled “Basic Principles for the Distribution of Competences between Tbilisi and Sukhumi”, its transmittal letter (see S/2002/88, para. 3) and additional ideas by the sides. 4. Throughout the reporting period, my Special Representative maintained regular contact with both sides, as well as with the Group of Friends of the Secretary-General both in Tbilisi and in their capitals.
