Abstract

The road network and access routes are among the most important elements of military geography. Classification of road network, type of access and appropriate transportation conditions for transfer of human forces and freight on the one hand, and reliable access to road lines and passageways of bridges, tunnels and road structures on the other, are of great importance. The status of roads, railways, ports, airports and inland waterways which facilitate military operations and allow for support of forces, have a special place in military geography.
