Position Engineering

Position engineering, also known as defensive position engineering, refers to the transformation of terrain and the construction of fortifications, obstacles, and roads in designated or occupied areas to support combat missions. It forms a systematic network of defensive works and can be classified into two types:

• Permanent Position Engineering: Characterized by tunnels and permanent fortifications, reinforced with field works, obstacles, and military roads. Designed for long-term, sustained defense.
• Field Position Engineering: Focuses on adapting and utilizing terrain, constructing temporary fortifications, obstacles, and improvised roads. Applied in hasty, short-term, or mobile defense, as well as in offensive operations involving positions.
