Counter-Mobility Operations

Counter-mobility operations are military actions designed to hinder or slow down an enemy’s movement and logistics. This is achieved by creating obstacles such as mines, barricades, and destroyed roads or bridges, making it difficult for enemy forces to advance, maneuver, or supply their troops effectively. The goal is to disrupt the enemy’s plans, buy time for defensive or offensive actions, and control key areas. These operations are carefully planned to weaken the enemy’s ability to operate efficiently while minimizing risk to friendly forces.
