The military has always had an important role in high altitude research. This is due to the fact that mountainous regions often span borders and provide a safe haven to enemies. Deploying troops rapidly into high altitude environments presents major problems in terms of the development of high altitude illness. This paper examines the rationale for carrying out research at high altitude and the opportunities within the UK Defence Medical Services for carrying out this research.
