The 4th Mountain Division “Highlanders” (Russian: 4ая Горная Дивизия “Горцы”) is an infantry division of the Abt Republic Army. It is, however, smaller in size compared to the other two infantry divisions that are the 2nd Infantry Division “Iron Wolves” and the 3rd Infantry Division "Swordbearers".
While Abt inherited Taraskovyan knowledge and mastery of mountain warfare, the Republic’s landscape made of largely plains and forests does not warrant the formation of a large mountain specialized force. The mountains of Abt are located along the western border with the Confederated Peoples and are enclosed within the administrative limits of the Western Governorate.
The 4th Mountain Division, as such, has two main goals: protection and surveilance of the western border and supplying the Abt Republic Army with a specialized mountain warfare component for operations abroad. Since the first goal is not likely to be realized any time soon, considering the good relations between Abt and its gigantic neighbour, a small and flexible mountain warfare formation answers Abt’s needs entirely, which in turn explains the smallness of the 4th Division in comparison with the other two infantry counterparts.
