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.[1]

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.
