Abstract


The traffic connection of an area is important for the economic development of the country, but it is of decisive importance for defence purposes. Unlike carefully planned public roads, the concept of military road construction must include solutions for "sudden and non-standard" or sudden and unusual circumstances and events, whether military forces participate in war or peacetime (natural disasters) operations. The paper presents the military roads partition and methods of construction in specific terrain. Military engineering units have a key role in the provision of traffic communications. The example shows the construction of a road for evacuation of the population after a natural disaster by bridging the river with a launch bridge with a tank bridge carrier MT-55A with a construction time framework.
