Marine Corps Reference Publication Mountain Leader’s Guide to Mountain Warfare Operations MCRP 12-10A.3 (Formerly MCRP 3-35.1C) 2 May 2016Marine Corps Reference Publication 3-35.1C, Mountain Leader’s Guide to Mountain Warfare Operations, is a reference for trained summer mountain leaders to use during operations in complex, compartmentalized, mountainous, high altitude, alpine, and glaciated terrain. This manual is not exhaustive and must be used together with the mountain warfare operations doctrinal series, as duplication of material is being avoided and target audiences vary. This publication covers terrain; weather; rope skills; rope systems; climbing; fixed ropes; rappelling; casualty evacuation; planning considerations across all six warfighting functions; chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear considerations; glacier operations; and processes used to guide units through mountainous/alpine terrain. It focuses on a standard method of instruction and stresses only the skills necessary for Marines to go into combat. Because of rapid turnover in personnel, the many units that train annually, the multitude of training commitments, and the short season, the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center cannot train all personnel or units. In combat, Marines may receive instruction from their unit’s qualified summer mountain leaders. This publication specifically supports the mountain leader’s ability to provide that instruction..Reviewed and approved 2 May 2016BY DIRECTION OF THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPSNotice:This is a paperback book version of the Marine Corps Reference Publication MCRP 12-10A.3 (Formerly MCRP 3-35.1C) Mountain Leader’s Guide to Mountain Warfare Operations 2 May 2016.Full version, All Chapters included.This publication (current update) is available (Electronic version) in the official website of the United States Marines Corps.This book is properly formatted and printed as a perfect sized copy 8.5x11.* The version of this publication is as described above (this article is updated after each new edition). disclaimer:The use or appearance of United States Marine Corps publications on a non-Federal Government website does not imply or constitute Marine Corps endorsement of the distribution service.
