    Green Berets assigned to 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) climb to Frostbite Ridge in Snohomish County, Washington, July 21, 2026. Basic Mountaineer Operator–Summer is one of two seasonal phases that develop the mountaineering capabilities Special Operations Soldiers rely on to conduct missions in mountainous terrain.

    1st SFG(A) maintains highly lethal, rapidly deployable forces to execute the full spectrum of special operations alongside allies, partners, and the joint force as the preferred partner and premier special operations entity in the U.S. Pacific Command area of responsibility.

    A group of hikers with backpacks and trekking poles are navigating a rocky, fast-moving glacial river crossing using fallen logs as makeshift bridges. The terrain is rugged, with large boulders, driftwood, and turbulent milky-white water characteristic of glacial melt. Dense green forest covers the hillside in the background.
    Two mountaineers are traversing a snow and ice field on a high-altitude mountain under a clear blue sky. The foreground climber carries a large pack with an orange cover and uses trekking poles, while a second climber is visible further along the route. A prominent rocky summit with glaciated slopes dominates the background.

    A group of mountaineers ascends a snow-covered volcanic peak under a partly cloudy sky. The foreground features a lone climber with a backpack and trekking pole, while several others are visible further up the slope. The mountain displays a mix of snow fields and dark volcanic rock formations.
    Two backpackers stand on a rocky ridge overlooking a dramatic glaciated mountain landscape, viewed from behind. They are equipped with full hiking packs and appear to be pausing to take in the view of snow-covered peaks and glaciers. The lighting suggests either early morning or late evening conditions.
    A mountaineer is scrambling up a steep rocky ridge using hands and feet, carrying a large backpack with a helmet attached. In the background, two additional climbers are visible on a snow-covered slope below. The scene features dramatic alpine terrain with glaciated peaks and snow fields extending into the distance under a hazy blue sky.
    A high-altitude mountaineering scene showing a snow-covered glacial slope flanked by dark volcanic or rocky terrain. At least two small human figures are visible traversing the snowfield, illustrating the vast scale of the mountain. A prominent snow-capped peak rises in the background under a partly cloudy blue sky.
    A high-altitude mountain landscape featuring expansive snow and glacier fields with rocky volcanic peaks in the background. Two small human figures are visible on the snow slope in the foreground, emphasizing the vast scale of the terrain. The scene is photographed from an elevated vantage point, with a hazy valley and distant mountain ranges visible far below.
    A group of approximately five to six mountaineers stand silhouetted on a snow-covered summit ridge under a bright sunstar in a deep blue sky. The climbers are equipped with helmets, backpacks, and mountaineering gear, suggesting a technical alpine ascent. A jagged rocky peak is visible in the background, partially shrouded in clouds below the summit level.
    Three hikers with large backpacks are ascending a rocky alpine trail at either dawn or dusk, with warm golden light illuminating distant mountain peaks. Below them lies a striking turquoise glacial lake nestled in a volcanic or glacially-carved basin surrounded by patchy snow fields. The scene depicts a high-altitude wilderness environment with expansive mountain ranges visible in the background.
    A high-altitude glacial landscape photographed at either dawn or dusk, showing a large snow and ice field on a steep mountain slope. The foreground features heavily striated glacier ice with visible flow lines, while the upper portion reveals rocky outcrops illuminated by warm golden light. Several small human figures are barely visible on a ridge in the middle distance, providing scale.
