EXHIBITION – GROUPE MILITAIRE DE HAUTE MONTAGNE
FOREWORD:
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the High Mountain Military Group (GMHM), the Mountain Troops Museum pays tribute to these ‘ambassadors of the peaks’. Belonging to the High Mountain Military School, this elite group of passionate soldiers embodies mastery and innovation in extreme environments, representing French excellence in military mountaineering.
Within the 27th Mountain Infantry Brigade, as in the French Army as whole, GMHM’s members form a community of experts who are constantly pushing their limits. This expertise is all the more crucial in a context of increasingly rigorous training and moral strength.
Through this exhibition, we invite you to discover the history of these mountain soldiers and their unique contribution to summit conquests and exploration.
QUOTE: ‘The GMHM must bring together the best mountaineersin the Division in order to prepare prestigious expeditions to gain an international reputation, as quickly as possible.’ General Pierre LAURENS, 1976.
