  Redoubt volcano, Alaska: lahars and USGS lahar-detection system
The lahars were caused by sudden melting of snow and ice from hot pyroclastic flows and dome collapses that swept down the volcano's north flank.
The largest lahar from Redoubt Volcano on January 2, 1990, flooded part of the terminal with muddy water.
By the time Redoubt Volcano first erupted on December 13, 1989, a USGS scientist had designed a prototype system for detecting a lahar as it moved down a river valley.

 CWFF Dictionary Of Fortification: Dictionary: Redoubt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
redoubt in permanent fortifications was a reduit within an outwork designed to prolong the defense of the work after its scarp had been breached or to provide an interior shelter for the collection of troops and materials necessary for the defense of the outwork.
In most cases redoubts were profiled to give the crest of the interior slope of their parapet a command of fire over the parapet of the work itself and the ground in front of it to allow the redoubt to contribute its fire in opposition to the advance of an attacker's siege works.
Since the redoubt also had a slightly oblique reverse view of the face of the demi-lune its fire could oppose both an attacker's advance across the ditch of the demi-lune and his attempt to form a lodgment in a breach in the demi-lune scarp.

 Eastbourne Redoubt
Built to supplement the firepower of the Martello chain, Eastbourne Circular Redoubt was of similar construction to its counterpart at Dymchurch.
Work on the Redoubt began in 1805 and it took three years to complete, built of brick and with a dry ditch defence.
By 1960, the redoubt had become a scheduled ancient monument, at which time it housed a model village in the parade ground and an aquarium in part of the moat and some of its casemates.

And here let me say, that down in the Great Library of the Redoubt, were the histories of all those, with their discoveries, who had ventured out into the monstrousness of the Night Land, risking not the life only, but the spirit of life.
And the whole was sheathed-in at the sides with the grey metal of which the Redoubt was builded; and each field was pillared, and floored beneath the soil, with this same compound of wonder; and so was it secure, and the monsters could not dig into that mighty garden from without.
And so he, being a master-spirit, planned and builded the smaller Redoubt, being aided thereto by four millions, who also were weary of the harass of the monsters; but until then had been wanderers, because of the restlessness of their blood.

 Historic California Posts: Fort Soda (Including Hancock Redoubt and Camp Soda Springs)
This desert camp, variously named for the dry soda lake in its vicinity, was first established south of Baker, San Bernardino County, in the spring of 1860 by men of the 1st Dragoons and called Hancock's Redoubt.
In 1860 it had been the site of Hancock Redoubt, a series of breastworks and corrals constructed to protect travelers on the Government Road.
During the period when the chain of redoubts were being abandoned, the officer in charge at Fort Soda had to report that a private had deserted, "taking the best horse at the post." The horse was not given a chance to prove himself, apparently, because the private was caught a few months later.
