Who depends more on mobility and when? Standard assumptions: Attacker has to move, defender can hide/dig-in and wait, MILENG, Dec 2017 Defender may have to move (for Defense & Reconquering Territory), MILENG, Dec 2017 In 2014-2016, the CJTF-OIR had complete air superiority in Iraq and Syria, all the bridges north and northwest of Baghdad were either destroyed or made impassable to stop Da’esh from reaching Baghdad. Da’esh was a sub-rate peer competitor. Imagine what NATO would have to do to stop or deter a near-peer competitor like Russia threatening the eastern border of Poland or the Suwalki Gap or continued threats to the Ukraine. Replacement bridges are critical to maintain mobility due to NATO not having complete air superiority any
prepositioned stocks of rail, wet and dry and emergency bridging are vital to ensure unimpeded mobility.
