                   MOBItITY/COUNTERMOBIThITY - 6

TOPIC:   Vehicle Mobility

DISCUSSION:

Vehicle power does not necessarily equate to mobility in the
desert environment.   Drivers must utilize a combination of speed,
gearing, braking, and steering to operate successfully.   Routes
can be made impassable if several vehicles drive over the same
track.   Additionally, the sand and dust can present a safety and
visibility problem for vehicles operating in column.

LESSO~(S) tEARNED:

When possible, vehicles should not follow directly in column when
conducting cross desert travel.
