ATP 3-21.50 provides the Infantry small-unit leader with doctrinal guidance on how company-sized units and below conduct combat operations in mountain and cold weather regions.

Introduction

When conducting military operations in mountains or cold weather environments, leaders and Soldiers must plan to fight two enemies: the environment and the opposing force. ATP 3-21.50 provides perspective on how Infantry small-unit commanders and subordinate leaders plan, prepare, execute, and assess missions in an operational environment characterized by high altitudes, rapidly changing climatic conditions, and rugged terrain. This environment challenges all the elements of combat power.

ATP 3-21.50 addresses the tactical application of techniques—non-prescriptive ways or methods used to perform missions, functions, or tasks—associated with the offense and defense during Infantry small-unit mountain operations.

ATP 3-21.50 primarily focuses on Infantry small-unit techniques in mountain operations generally carried out in operational terrain level II and level III, and more specifically, where the influence of increasingly steep and rugged terrain dictates the use of dismounted operations.
