    BRIDGEPORT, Calif. -- High in the Sierra Nevadas, U.S. forces are being trained in the art of mountain warfare on horseback. Yes, the original all-terrain vehicle is making a comeback.

    Staff Sergeant Levi Stuart has been saddling up since he was a child. Now he's an instructor at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center.

    "The advantage of using horses and mules, they can maneuver across the battle space very quickly and unnoticed," explained Stuart. "They don't have to rely on roads or technology or vehicles to go wherever they need to go."

          Not to mention is that travel on horseback is common in some areas and wouldn't be noticed whereas motorized vehicles would garner unwanted attention.

                Yup - but I just mowed, and a tornado is heading this way, so I'm not so giddy.

                        horses take a lot of care though and aren't bullet proof.

                          Yeah, but they're readily available locally and don't require replacement parts. And, generally, their fuel is available locally and doesn't need to be trucked in.

                            Not in the middle east. Unless they eat rocks.

                              The point was, where our enemies use horses to get around, they are available, and already used to the mountainous region (or whatever region). Horses are amazingly adaptable.
