| Abstract [eng] |
As Lithuanian troops become more and more mobile, the deployment of military units from one location to another is becoming an increasingly frequent phenomenon. It is likely that in case of a threat of war, Lithuanian army units may repeatedly have to change their location of deployment. Given that the country which is opposed to the Baltic countries is using tactic of deploying small units more often, the possibility of military convoy being attacked in the event of a war threat is becoming increasingly widespread. For this reason, an investigation and analysis of routes which would involve the redeployment of Lithuanian troops and allied military units in the event of a war threat is of great relevance to the Lithuanian army. Due to the fact the transport of Lithuanian military equipment mainly takes place on land by means of wheeled vehicles, this work focuses on analysing the situation on the mode of transport in question. The aim of this project is to analyse the selected routes and their dangerous sections on roads in case of a military threat for allied machinery to be transported from the port of Klaipėda to the designated deployment locations in Lazdijai, taking into account the aspects of travel time and security. The literature analysis and the study of the sections on parts of the dangerous routes have led to conclusions that the second route is more secure, taking into account the capability of the enemy to find shelter because the potential for enemy shelter in the three segments of the road is poor. Taking into account the potential for going round, the first route is safer as the three segments of the road are evaluated as having good potential for going round while one is evaluated as great for going round. The analysis has also shown that when it comes to time required to overcome the dangerous segments of the route, the second route is considered more appropriate. This is due to the fact that the time to overcome the dangerous segments of the second route is 62 minutes and 30 seconds while the first route would take 74 minutes and 12 seconds to complete. |
