The support of mobility is one of the main tasks of engineer units. The mobility consists of different parts – mobility of low-endurable terrain, watercourses, forests etc. In this paper the authors focused only to one area – trafficability of areas covered by snow. The snowy terrain covered most of areas, not only in the Czech Republic, during the winter season. But the mobility must be ensured even in such conditions. In some cases, the vehicles mire in the snow layer and they have to be rescued. In the others, the convoy of vehicles stop before the untrafficable place and they have to overcome it. It is not always possible to bypass the place and the units have to negotiate this area. But the removal of snow is very time and human consuming. So it was decided to undergo testing materials suitable for these purposes. The aim of this work is to evaluate the using of perspective materials for self-rescuing works in snow as well as for the negotiation of untrafficable terrain due to the layer of snow. And all this makes it possible to improve the ability of negotiation obstacles such as snowy terrain and thus better mobility of the troops even in such conditions. [1,2,3]
