Instead of being delivered to the target by missiles, rockets, or artillery shells, ADMs were intended to be emplaced by soldiers. Due to their relatively small size and light weight, ADMs could be emplaced by military engineers or Special Forces teams, then detonated on command or by timer to create massive obstructions. By destroying key terrain features or choke points such as bridges, dams, mountain passes and tunnels, ADMs could block the movement of enemy forces or channel them into prepared killing zones.

According to official accounts, the United States deployed ADMs overseas in Italy and West Germany during the Cold War. Recent scholarship also indicates that the most modern types (SADM and MADM) were deployed in South Korea.
