ICR	in-commission rate
in-depth defence	A choice of defensive manoeuvre that forces the enemy to attack through a series of mutually supporting friendly positions, causing the enemy's mass to be expended and his supporting forces to be unable to focus. This choice of manoeuvre reduces the risk of an enemy penetration and allows the enemy to gain terrain to wear him down and overextend his ability to sustain his attack. In-depth defence usually culminates in a friendly counterattack to complete the destruction of the enemy and regain lost terrain.
