	American Anthrax - Using a Biowar Agent as an Area Denial Weapon
		Area denial has been around since man first walked the earth, and in the beginning amounted to little more than excluding others from a private cave or dwelling, but as societies developed, this soon expanded to wholesale exclusion of “other” societies from villages, towns and so on.
		This was the first documented account of a bio-warfare agent being used against a civil population for area denial purposes, but the method was crude in the extreme.
		In a startling break with tradition, one British military doctor stated that in her view, 99% of the problems could be traced back to the anti-bacteriological warfare "cocktail" inoculations, and anti-nerve gas tablets forcibly administered to military personnel in the Gulf region at that time.

	Area denial weapons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Area denial weapons are used to prevent an adversary from occupying or traversing an area of land.
		Radiological or chemical weapons might also be considered as area denial weapons, although they are not considered applicable in this context at present.
		The correct layout of these extensive lines of ditches and the quality control of stake size, form and placement (they had to be big and sturdy enough to impale a very heavy horse) was part of the craft of war.

	Denied area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When a reference is made to a friendly force denying an area to the enemy, such as a reference to friendly forces employing area denial weapons, the intent is to create an area in which the enemy cannot operate without extreme risk.
		This is why a denied area may well exist behind enemy lines when, if it were secured by friendly forces on the ground, it might be considered a forward position.
		A dirty bomb is a potential option for an area denial weapon which might be more accessible to small paramilitary or terrorist groups.

		Area Denial Marker: This marks an area of the map that you don't want the enemy to enter, but don't necessarily wish to occupy yourself.
		Artillery is particularly effective for area denial, and can defend areas well out of their line of sight by continually bombarding them.
		In the case of areas you'll want to be able to define the area, either by some sort of polygonal area or maybe (in a tile-based system) like you would define the area you want to dig in Dungeon Keeper.

	:: Self-Healing Minefield :: Technical Support - Technical Agent
		By choosing a technical agent at TACOM-ARDEC, DARPA established a pathway for transition of the Self-Healing Minefield enabling technologies to support the Objective Force approach to maneuver denial.
		In support of transition to the U.S. Army, the technical accomplishments realized on the Self-Healing Minefield program will be communicated to other relevant organizations at Picatinny Arsenal, including the Fire Support Armaments Center and the Project Manager for Mines, Countermine, and Demolitions.
		As the Army's lead for Area Denial systems, Picatinny Arsenal plays a vital role in the development of the Self-Healing Minefield.

		The submarine's unique ability to penetrate and operate in denied areas with virtual impunity while detecting and destroying advanced threats will be a critical enabler to ensure our Navy can fight and win in the littorals.
		Regional powers and future peer competitors can acquire other powerful asymmetric means to build a creditable anti-access or area denial capability and delay or reduce naval access to the littorals.
		The submarine's ability to gain and sustain access by penetrating a denied area, independently, covertly, and for long duration, provides a unique tactical advantage over other assets in the Navy inventory.

		They also include high intensity searchlights and devices that can be used for area denial or at local checkpoints.
		The two types of munitions are blunt trauma (450.32 caliber rubber balls inside a rubber housing attached to a metal base) and distraction (flash bang) made of a polyurethane material that will produce an audible and visible distraction.

		This tactic is one that is used just to simply deny any enemy forces a clear path of travel.
		If you are outnumbered or can't reach your enemy, lay down a denial of area attack and run the hell away.
		Denial of area also allows you to not worry about certain areas - if a horde of Spawn are rushing from all directions, and two of those directions have at least two Grenadiers bombing them, keep your opportunity fire focused elsewhere for most of your force.

	Nat' Academies Press, Alternative Technologies to Replace Antipersonnel Landmines (2001)
		The Hornet/Wide Area Munition (WAM), with its large lethal radius and antihandling device, could replace most of the tactical functions currently provided by mixed systems but has no remote delivery capability.
		With nonlethal variants, U.S. forces could mount a graduated response in situations where the threat is unclear, such as peace operations, or if large noncombatant populations were in the immediate tactical area.
		Nonlethal weapons have several advantages: they can be used in a broad variety of circumstances; they can be triggered automatically; and they do not require man-in-the-loop operation to be Ottawa compliant, which could improve the timeliness of a response and lessen the burden on the soldier/operator.

		States in the region have, for the most part, either denied the US military access to bases, or placed severe restrictions on their use, especially in the case of strike operations.
		This implies an ability to effect a distributed insertion of Army forces into a threatened area, as well as an ability to conduct highly distributed, or dispersed operations, employing C4ISR systems to scout the physical gaps between Army formations and extended-range fires to cover them.
