Great. The 10th Mountain Div can't handle altitude. Maybe they should go back to the mountains...

Camp Hale, Colorado where the 10th was founded is at 9500 ft. Nearby mountains go to 14,000. Fort Drum is what, 600?

Yeesh.

Fort Carson, CO seems like a good place to train mountain troops. Fort Carson is just a few miles south of Colorado Springs, and right next to Cheyenne Mountain.

Downtown Colorado Springs is just a bit higher than 6000 feet, and it is the lowest spot for miles around. From Ft. Carson, one has all of the Colorado rockies to train in.

The HQ of the 10th is not about altitude, it's about congressional clout. They would put them in Alabama, depending on the committee make up.
