About

FM 90-13 KQTLGB' (Sírio:ss;e:s fioñ tne CHAPTER crossing operation concepts iver crossing operations are an integral part of land warfare. The lethality of modem weapons and the capability of larger enemy formations dictate that crossing forces reduce their vulnerability by maintaining inherent mobility. The objective of any river crossing is to project combat power across a water obstacle while insuring the integrity and momentum of the force. Therefore, whenever possible, whether in the offense or retrograde, rivers must be crossed in stride as a continuation of the operation. A river crossing is a special operation in that it requires additional planning and support. The obstacle may be a river, a lake, or a canal. Size and composition of the obstacle and the enemy situation will dictate how the crossing is to be made.
