A company of the 85th Regiment, twelve in number, moves out across a ridge on Mount Belvedere while a larger group of roughly twenty Tenth Mountain Division soldiers wait in reserve, some in fox holes the rest in sheltered positions, including a medic, a man looking at his watch, and a few sleeping. There is a small patch of snow on the ground and a stand of leafless trees and mountain peak in the distance.
