	Defensive fighting position - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are many types of defensive fighting positions (DFPs), more commonly known in U.S. military slang as foxholes.
		A hasty fighting position is the initial stage in the development of a foxhole.
		The fighting forces of other nations use different terms for much the same thing: in the ANZAC forces, for example, it is a fighting pit.

	Ballistic Protective Blankets
		Protection "to standard" fighting positions with 3 layers of sand bags takes around 12 hours on a good day, these blankets could be passed out in less than an hour.
		Defense prep time is reduced and the time soldiers are exposed to detection.
		Also, you would reduce the tendency of staying in a defensive position in spite of early detection/contact because you have so much energy invested there that you stay put, even though it makes more sense to move.

		The high parapet had also the advantage that the attackers could not tell what was going on inside the redoubt, and the defenders were sheltered from their fire as well from view until the last moment.
		A good position there-fore was one which offered good fire-positions for redoubts and plenty of facilities for creating obstacles.
		Strong redoubts which could resist determined assaults; good obstacles in the intervals, guns in the redoubts to sweep the intervals, and troops in formed bodies kept in reserve for counter-strokes—these were the essentials in the days of the smooth-bore.

		Positions must be hidden tracks leading to positions must be swept away, and all indications of the forces presence must be concealed.

	WHY THEY FIGHT: COMBAT MOTIVATION IN THE IRAQ WAR
		Iraqi EPWs were expected to respond that they were motivated to fight for each other (as earlier research had shown with the Wehrmacht or North Vietnam's Viet Cong) or were simply defending their homeland.
		The notion of fighting for one's comrades has usually been contrasted with the possibility that soldiers may be motivated in combat by idealistic principles—fighting for the cause.
		He posited that cohesion will "maintain the soldier in his combat role only when he has an underlying commitment to the worth of the larger social system for which he is fighting." He called this commitment a latent ideology that supports the role of cohesion as a combat motivation.

		Paige's platoon was given orders to establish a defensive position on a ridge near the Matanikau River, only a few miles west of Henderson Field.
		His Marines were positioned at the top of a hill that sloped down toward the jungle's edge, but they were exposed on three sides, creating an area that was practically indefensible.
		Had that position fallen, it would have surely led to the enemy recapture of Henderson Field, and the outcome of World War II in the Pacific may have been radically different.
