One of the challenges that light fleets can face is facilitating beach landings. Both wheeled and tracked vehicles can struggle to gain traction on soft ground, which makes navigating sand a tricky task. Vehicles can quite easily become rutted and need to be dug out. Having to stage a rescue, while causing troops to expend considerable time and effort, can also pose a real risk to personnel and assets. Snow, marsh and desert can also prove problematic. Expedient ground surfacing systems that can be deployed in challenging terrain can offer a smooth passage in environments that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to traverse, and there are products available which are tailored for light fleets.
