Defense: Terrain Modification Part II – Planning For Cover



In the last entry I pointed out some issues that were discovered during out terrain review and tackled the first task that was at hand – clearing fields of observation and fire. Referring back to that entry you’ll see that I contrasted the effort taken to increase our fields of fire and observation while reducing our deadspace with the fact that the measures implemented had another effect. It effectively reduced the threats cover and concealment and increased their field of observation. During the course of this case study I intend to frequently contrast how measures taken will affect both our position and the threats capabilities. In this entry we’re going to look at some forms of Cover (the first part of the the C in OCOKA) and develop not only our concept of how we can employ cover to continue building our defensive plan but weigh some of the advantages and disadvantages of different types of cover.

First up is a review of what cover is and isn’t.
