About

constructed and cleared quickly and on supporting fires to re- duce the enemy's mobility and, relatively speaking, increase that of the friendly forces. Even though men with weapons can re- strict enemy movement without barriers and obstacles, available forces will often be inadequate for effective control of an area without such assistance or it may not be feasible to place sufficient men and weapons in the area. Mines will, however, habitually be used for blocking access routes, avenues of approach, and defiles, as well as to assist in perimeter security. In the forward portion of the combat zone mines usually are installed and removed by hand. As a general rule, mechanical minelaying equipment is not used. d. In the rear portion of the combat zone or prior to the initia- tion of hostilities extensive barriers may be employed, including the large scale use of barrier minefields.
