		The second approach is to use hardening to reduce the vulnerability of equipment and facilities that are to be key targets for deep attack--tanks, rockets/missile launchers and artillery, unit headquarters, and supply lines.
		This can be done by a number of means including dispersal, redundancy, camouflage, mobility (changing position frequently), increased distance from the forward edge of the battle area (FEBA) where feasible (especially for headquarters and supply depots), improved defenses, improved armor for individual tactical equipment, and an increased cushion of supply.
