From past to present [Elektronski vir]: the development of Austrian and Austro-Hungarian troops for mountain warfare and the current challenges =Od preteklosti do sedanjosti: razvoj avstrijskih in avstro-ogrskih enot za gorsko bojevanje in trenutni izzivi / Christian Ortner Od preteklosti do sedanjosti After the new political orientation of the Habsburgs towards South-East Europe in late 19th Century, the Austro-Hungarian Army recognized the need for specialized mountain troops. From 1882 onwards, permanent mountain brigades were created. A turning point came in 1906 when the Tyrolean Landesschützen were restructured into trained mountain and border defence units. During World War I, they fought on the Eastern and Italian fronts. Following Austria’s loss of World War I and of its own sovereignty after 1938, its alpine military tradition endured through the Federal Army, and later re-emerged post-1955. The 6th Mountain Brigade and the Mountain Warfare Centre preserve and advance mountain warfare expertise, serving as a hub for European mountain training, environmental adaptation, and international cooperation amid evolving security threats. Po novi politični usmeritvi Habsburžanov proti jugovzhodni Evropi konec 19. stoletja, je avstro-ogrska vojska ugotovila, da potrebuje specializirane gorske enote. Leta 1882 so začeli ustanavljati stalne gorske brigade. Preobrat je nastopil leta 1906, ko so tirolske deželne strelce preoblikovali v usposobljene gorske in obmejne obrambne enote. Med prvo svetovno vojno so se slednji bojevali na vzhodni in italijanski fronti. Po porazu Avstrije v prvi svetovni vojni in izgubi suverenosti leta 1938 se je njena alpska vojaška tradicija ohranila v zvezni vojski, ponovno pa je zaživela po letu 1955. Center za gorsko bojevanje in 6. gorska brigada ohranjata in razvijata strokovno znanje o gorskem bojevanju ter delujeta kot pomembno evropsko središče za gorsko usposabljanje, prilagajanje okolju in mednarodno sodelovanje v času spreminjajočih se varnostnih groženj.
