Breaching of Obstacles (An Engineer Assessment Methodology).
Abstract
This report describes how the Engineer Studies Center developed mobility algorithms for estimating the combat engineer support required to overcome common obstacles to the forward movement of a military force. Although the algorithms were originally designed for use by the Combined Forces Command, Korea, they can be revised to consider terrain types not found on the Korean peninsula. The algorithms consider both assault and follow-on efforts for bridging, bridge bypasses, fords, and manmade obstacle systems, such as tank ditches, dragon's teeth, boulder fields, and concrete side drops.
