Abstract:

Terrain reinforcement increases the advantages of the defender. It may consist of extensively engineered obstacles or simply an infantrymans fighting position. Terrain reinforcement counters an enemys advantage of weaponry, superior numbers, or mobility. This battle report describes one type of terrain reinforcement--the tank ditch--and its use on the battlefield.
