Mobility corridor

A mobility corridor is an area where a military force will be canalized (channeled) due to terrain restrictions. It allows forces to capitalize on the principles of mass and speed, and needs to be relatively free of obstacles.

Mobility corridors can be combined to make avenues of approach. Maximum distances between mobility corridors (sizes of avenues of approach) are as follows:

1. Division avenues of approach have regimental mobility corridors no more than 10 kilometers apart.
2. Regimental avenues of approach have battalion mobility corridors no more than 6 kilometers apart.
3. Battalion avenues of approach have company mobility corridors no more than 2 kilometers apart.
4. Company avenues of approach are at least 500 meters wide.
