Mobility corridor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mobility corridor is an area where a military force will be canalized due to terrain restrictions. It allows forces to capitalize on the principles of mass and speed, and needs to be relatively free of obstacles.[1]
In civilian usage, a mobility corridor is a principal high-capacity access route between two areas.[2]
