Tactical and Operational Depth

Más información sobre el libro

The analysis focuses on defining tactical and operational depth in military strategy, emphasizing their roles in defense and attack. Tactical depth involves areas held by defending units to maintain defense integrity and hinder enemy maneuver, while operational depth allows attackers to potentially destroy defenders without confronting all defenses. Historical case studies, including notable battles, illustrate that these concepts depend on mission objectives rather than unit size or specific distances. The distinction between denial and opportunity is crucial, as it marks a critical decision point for both attackers and defenders.
