Generally, India is considered a hub of mountain warfare skills since most of the country’s north and northeast requires such skills. Normally in mountain warfare, troops on lower ground use a combat ratio of 1:6, but in circumstances as in Galwan, it may go up to 1:10. Generally, mountain warfare is fought using the period of darkness to reach the opposing army, engage and overpower them before the first light of day. For communication equipment, troops need to carry more batteries because they drain very quickly at high altitude. What kind of training do Indian troops get in mountain warfare?
