Lines of Operations

The roads or routes by which an army moves from its base towards its objective-point have been designated by the term “lines of operations.” Lines of operations are cla ified from their number into single , double , or multiple lines; from their positions with respect to the lines of operations of the enemy into interior or exterior lines; and from their position with respect to each other into convergent or divergent lines. Other cla ifications are sometimes used descriptive of the nature or other quality of the line.
