  • A line of communication is the route that connects an operating military unit with its supply base. Supplies and reinforcements are transported along the line of communication. Therefore, a secure and open line of communication is vital for any military force to continue to operate effectively.
  • The interdiction of supplies and reinforcements to units closer to the front lines is therefore an important strategic goal for opposing forces. Some notable examples: * The Siege of Vicksburg in the American Civil War, in which Grant encircled the city, leading to its eventual surrender in July 1863 * The Battle of France in World War II, in which the Germans cut off the French and British armies in Belgium (although the Dunkirk evacuation rescued over 330,000 of them) * The encirclement of German 6th Army in the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II * United States attacks on the Ho Chi Minh trail during the Vietnam War
