I accompanied the Mountain
Rangers from 24th Battalion
„General George Avramescu”,
with which we went, on the
first day of instruction in Rodna
Mountains, in a march towards the
glacial lake Lala and Ineu Peak.
We were led by Sergeant-Major
Nicolae Olar from 17th Mountain
Rangers Battalion, who guided us
on the 15 km route. We reached
Lala Lake which is at an altitude of
1,815 meters and the servicemen
from the 22nd Mountain Rangers
to military mountaineering and
learned from the Romanian
Mountain Rangers modern
methods of free climbing and
rappelling, funicular and rope
transportation and MEDEVAC of
wounded and military equipment.
The next two days were the most
intense for both the US and the
Romanian servicemen, as in
these two days they conducted
the live-fire exercises and the
mountain marches, each of the
two Mountain Rangers Battalions
taking half of US Marines.
