defilading

🗣️

DEFINITION

protecting from enemy fire using terrain, positioning troops behind cover, shielding from direct line of fire

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The commander ordered the defilading of the artillery behind the ridge to protect the guns from enemy observation. Effective defilading allows soldiers to move and operate safely even when the enemy controls the high ground. The engineers studied the terrain carefully to plan the defilading of the supply route along the reverse slope. Defilading was essential during the battle because the open field offered no natural protection for the advancing infantry. Military maps often show areas suitable for defilading so that units can select secure positions before an engagement.
