Marches of an Austrian Mountaineer

Compilation of Austrian Military marches dedicated to the mountaineers & alpine regions of Austria throughout the Habsburg era. The Austro-Hungarian Empire consisted of many mountainous regions such as the Alps & Carpathians requiring the Empire to have many regiments specialised the mountainous warfare. The concept of mountain troops was originally put forward by Conrad von Hötzendorf, in February 1906 the War Ministry in Vienna convened a session on Alpine border security. Field Marshal Tunk, agreed with him and put forward a concept, the fundamentals of which were then carried out. The existing state rifle regiments were to be trained as mountain troops and, together with the Landsturm border patrol companies and gendarmerie departments were to form the backbone of a territorial defence force with local knowledge on the border of Tyrol. Some examples of these regiments are the Landesschützen-Kaiserschüzen, Kaiserjäger, Gebirgsjäger & Bergsteiger.
