I think Colorado is a much better place in terms of mountains. Colorado has 58 14, 000+ FT tall peaks and has very rough and rocky terrain I would think that if the Marines want the best training they would go there.

Where did you get the ridiculous notion that the mountains of Sierra Nevada are inferior to the Colorado Rockies ? Have you ever personally seen, hiked , climbed ,skied the CA Sierra Nevada ?

You do not get invaded in the middle of the country, you get invaded from the coasts. If they are on the coast, they are closer to deploy during wartime SINCE YOUR SHIPS ARE ON THE COAST(S)! Plus, the AFA is in Colorado Springs, so you have a number of cadets there anywya
