Originally called the Cold Weather Battalion, the center has since evolved into one of the premier training facilities for mountain and cold weather warfare in the United States military. Over the decades, MCMWTC has provided specialized training not only to Marines but also to joint and allied forces, focusing on survival, movement, and combat operations in rugged terrain.
