defense of a battle position
mil., logist.	A technique that places a unit in a battle position BP to concentrate its fires, to limit its manoeuvre, or to place it in an advantageous position to counterattack. The BP is a general location on the ground. The commander positions his forces on the best terrain within and in the vicinity of the BP. The commander may position security forces forward of and about the BP. He can also locate combat support and combat service support elements outside the BP. The commander can manoeuvre his forces freely within the BP and seize the initiative to manoeuvre outside of the BP to attack enemy forces provided that it does not interfere with the commander's concept.
