About

FM 31-10 tial stages of development, a barrier is not an impenetrable line of great depth and continu- ous strength. As a minimum, one major obstacle should be presented to an enemy at- tempting to pass through the barrier system at any given point. A barrier may be used as a denial measure in border control and other operations. c. Both denial operations and barriers re- duce the combat power exerted against friend- ly forces. Barriers hinder the movement of enemy maneuver elements, while denial oper- ations are aimed at impeding their overall ability to move and to conduct operations. The successful employment of barriers and the execution of denial operations depend on sound planning, the exploitation of natural terrain obstacles, and the effective use of available resources. Denial operations and the use of barriers must be closely coordinated with tactical plans. 1-4.
