Bridge

Bridges have long been essential military objectives because they concentrate movement across rivers, ravines, and other obstacles. Industrial warfare increased the importance of bridges capable of carrying rail traffic, heavy trucks, and armored vehicles. Engineers built temporary crossings, repaired damaged spans, or destroyed bridges to delay an opponent. Crossings connected the battlefield to its supply system, making their capture, protection, destruction, and reconstruction important tasks for both combat troops and military engineers. Pontoon bridges and prefabricated military spans could restore movement quickly, but required suitable banks, trained engineers, and traffic control. Their carrying capacity determined which vehicles could safely cross. Pontoon bridges offered temporary crossings where permanent structures had been destroyed or were unavailable.
