invasion routes
Military entry paths
Invasion routes are the paths or corridors through which military forces enter hostile territory.
The term appears in military history and strategy, describing geographic passages—mountain passes, river valleys, coastal approaches—that armies have used to penetrate enemy lands: Napoleon's invasion route through Russia, the classic invasion routes into northern India.
The phrase also applies to biological contexts, describing how pathogens or invasive species spread into new environments.
