3. A type of action to repel an offensive or attacks, usually by superior enemy forces, to hold or cover designated areas, lines, sectors or installations, to reduce forces and equipment in some sectors and create superiority in others, to defeat attacking enemy forces and to create the conditions for friendly forces to counter-attack or move onto the offensive. Defence may be tactical, operational or strategic in scale, preplanned or mounted in response to enemy action. A defensive layout includes a force grouping in combat deployment and a system of defensive lines, sectors and positions. It will also include an integrated fire plan, antitank, anti-airborne and air defence measures and obstacles. There are specific characteristics associated with mounting defensive operations in built-up, mountainous, forested or other such areas.
