"During Operation Mountain Lion I found myself praying
for bad weather, the first time in my military career I was
actually begging for a cold front to come through. I knew
my Soldiers could handle it and the enemy couldn't.
ECWCS allowed my men to out last the enemy on their
own terrain. When the enemy was forced out of the
mountains due to the bitter cold to take shelter, that's
when we got them.“ LTC Christopher Cavoli, Commander,
1-32 IN BN, 10th MTN
