The Gebirgsjager or mountain troops were light infantry trained for mountain warfare. Due to the terrain they operated in, the traditional support available to the regular infantrymen of the German Army such as heavy artillery or tanks were not available to the Gebirgsjäger. The men who made up at typical Gebirgsjäger unit were expected to carry all their personal kit and weapons, usually much more than what would be carried by regular infantrymen. On top of this, they were expected to scale sheer cliffs and mountains while doing so.
