Main Supply Route

A main supply route (MSR)^[1] is the route or routes designated within an area of operations upon which the bulk of traffic flows in support of military operations^[2] and humanitarian operations.^[3]^[4] MSR is a term that is also used in insurgency and irregular war scenarios.^[5]

Because of the intense and predictable flow of constrained military traffic MSRs can often become targets for opposing forces, as was the case with the Airport Road in Baghdad, a short but dangerous route.^[6]
