About

TC 5-210 Chapter 1. River Crossing Concepts METHODS OF CROSSING RIVERS River crossing operations have always been an integral part of land warfare. From Alexander the Great's crossing of the Hydaspes River in 326 BC, to modern times, an army's ability to cross significant water obstacles has often led to the success, or failure, of that army. The lethality of modern weapons and the capabilities of larger enemy formations have mandated that US forces adapt an AirLand Battle doctrine which relies heavily upon our ability to maneuver. The ability of the US Army to cross rivers quickly and efficiently is critical to the success of this doctrine. Field Manual (FM) 90-13 prescribes three types of river crossing operations: the hasty, deliberate, and retrograde crossing.
