Bridgeport, California

I didn't tell you this but I trained here:

Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center (MCMWTC)

The Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center (MCMWTC) is one of the Corps most remote and isolated post. The MCMWTC conducts formal schools for individuals and battalion training in summer and winter mountain operations. The training emphasizes development of both individual and unit mountain skills with primary emphasis on enhancing overall combat capability. Marines at the Center are also involved in testing cold weather clothing, equipment, human performance, rough terrain vehicles, and developing doctrine and concepts to enhance the Corps' ability to fight and win in mountain and cold weather environments.

The Winter Mountain Operations Course is designed to instruct units in the cold weather mountaineering skills necessary for winter combat operations. Physically demanding, the course is conducted in an inherently dangerous environment with an emphasis on safety, individual survival, cold weather bivouacs, route selection, over-the-snow mobility techniques, and avalanche safety and awareness. Students will apply battalion offensive / defensive tactics in field exercises representing real-world scenarios. The Winter Mountain Operations Course also teaches staff planning and combat service support requirements. Four active duty battalions are trained each winter (January - April), with each course 28 days in length. One reserve battalion completes a 14 day Winter Mountain Operations course every other December. Concurrent satellite programs include Sniper Sustainment Training, Scout Skier, Weapons Company Core Extension Package, Mountain Communications Course, Mountain Motor Transport Course, Mountain Engineer Course, and Recon Sustainment Training.

The Summer Mountain Operations Course emphasizes unit mastery of the mountaineering skills necessary for successful operations in a mountainous environment. Conducted in an austere and unpredictable environment, students will learn mountain safety, military rock climbing, fixed rope installations, mountain navigation, rappelling, and planning / coordinating platoon movement across rugged terrain. Small unit and battalion level field exercises will provide application of offensive and defensive mountain combat tactics, including staff planning, and combat service support requirements. Concurrent satellite programs include Sniper Sustainment Training, Assault Climbers Course, Tactical Rope Suspension Technician Certification, Animal Packing Course, Weapons Company Core Extension Package, Swift Water Rescue Course, Mountain Communications Course, Mountain Motor Transport Course, Mountain Engineer Course, and Recon Sustainment Training.

The Survival Sections provides instruction for Cold Weather Survival Courses and Summer Mountain Survival Courses. The instruction serves to train Marines in the fundamental skills that will enable them to survive in a winter or summer mountainous environment. Focus of effort is placed on instilling confidence and resourcefulness, with the desired result of building sound decision-makers that can operate in austere environments. In between formal courses the Survival Section can be tasked to provide Mountain Training Packages for various units and agencies.

Liberty while attending the course is almost nonexistent. The only exceptions are the first and last nights. However, weather and circumstances permitting, the Survival Course participates in several PMEs, which occur off base. MWTC is 21 miles from the nearest town, and 60-90 miles from the nearest urban area. Government transportation is not provided for liberty.

The MCMWTC is currently staffed with 19 officers (USMC/USN) and 215 enlisted (USMC/USN), all permanent personnel. When training units are present, as many as 1,200 personnel are on-board. Military housing is available in Coleville, CA. There are 110 units in the Housing Complex located 25 miles north of the Training Center. Civilian housing in the Walker/Coleville, CA area will cost $500.00 to $700.00 per month for a small two bedroom trailer. During the winter, utility bills can run as high as $150.00 for gas and electricity.

The center was established in 1951 as a Cold Weather Battalion with a mission of providing cold weather training for replacement personnel bound for Korea. After the Korea conflict the name was changed to the Marine Corps Cold Weather Training Center. As a result of it’s expanded role it was renamed the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in 1963. MCMWTC operated on a full time basis until 1967 when it was placed in a caretaker status as a result of the Vietnam War. The training center was reactivated to a full-time command on May 19th 1976.

MCMWTC is located on California Highway 108 at Pickle Meadow. The center is 21 miles northwest of Bridgeport, California and 100 miles south of Reno, Nevada. The center occupies 46,000 acres of Toiyabe National Forrest under management of the U.S. Forrest Service. A letter of agreement between the Forrest Service an the Marine Corps permits the use of the area to train Marines in mountain and cold weather operations.

The center is cited at 6,762 feet, with elevations in the training areas ranging to just under 12,000 feet. During the winter season (October - April) snow accumulation can rear 6 to 8 feet. Further, sever storms can deposit as much as four feet in a 12 hour period. Annual temperatures range from -20 degrees to +90 degrees Fahrenheit.

The MCMWTC is located in the heart of a National Forest which affords a great opportunity to enjoy many outdoor recreational activities; including fishing, hiking, camping, etc. Nearby is beautiful Lake Tahoe, which also is excellent for outdoor recreation. Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) offer a number of items for check out.

The MCMWTC is fortunate to have a modern facility that inludes a large weight room, cardiovascular room, two racquetball courts, basketball court, a state-of-the-art indoor climbing wall, and a male and female locker room with dry sauna. This facility is available from 0800 - 2100 Monday - Friday and 1000 - 1700 Saturday, Sunday and holidays.

Located at Base Housing is a true Community Center. It offers various youth activities, a small but active youth sports program, and the Staff also coordinates day camps. There is a small weight room, basketball/volleyball court, and on Wednesday and Friday evenings movies are shown at no cost on a big screen TV with surround sound. In addition to these activities we offer classes and workshops from CPR to college art classes. On Sundays the Community Center becomes the Chapel with both Catholic and Protestant Services.

College classes by Barstow College and Central Texas College are offered. These classes are held here on Base as well as at Coleville High School, located approximately 2 miles from Base Housing. CLEP and DSST exams and DANTES External Degrees and Independent Studies are also available. Internet classes are also offered through a number of colleges and universities. An Apprenticeship Program is available for certain technical MOSs.

The Training Center is equipped with a small Marine Corps Exchange offering limited personal items. (i.e. camera equipment, some civilian clothing, watches, miscellaneous snack items, bread/milk, etc.). Special ordering of items is available through the Bridgeport Main Exchange coming from Camp Pendleton MCX. A small Marine Corps Exchange is also located in the Coleville Housing complex. It carries a variety of household items and limited groceries. Small general stores are located in both Bridgeport, CA and Walker, CA. The nearest supermarket is located in Gardnerville, NV. The nearest major shopping center is in Reno, NV, approximately 100 miles from the Base and 75 miles from Base Housing. Prices in the local stores are usually slightly higher than most populated areas.
