Cold weather demands cold weather gear. Mountain phase in the winter will test your limits — waffle layers, beanies, and glove inserts aren't optional. Frostbite, hypothermia, and frozen equipment are real threats.

Terrain Model Kit
Build the Brief That Gets You a GO
Every graded patrol requires a terrain model for your OPORD brief. You need a macro model (big picture — route to objective) and a micro model (zoomed in — actions on the OBJ). Build them right and the RI sees a leader who knows their plan.
Macro Terrain Model Example
Macro Terrain Model
Shows the big picture — current position, route, phase lines, checkpoints, and ORP location. Built first during WARNO development. Used to brief Paragraph 1 (Situation) and movement plan.
Micro Terrain Model Example
Micro / Objective Terrain Model
Zoomed in on the objective area — assault positions, support-by-fire, security, LOA, and specific team positions. Used for Paragraph 3 (Execution) and rehearsals.
