military road
Army supply path
A military road is a road built primarily for strategic military purposes—moving troops, equipment, and supplies.
Such roads often traverse difficult terrain where civilian routes don't exist: The military road cut through the mountain pass.
Many highways began as military roads and later opened to civilian traffic.
