A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The art of war is usually divided by military writers into four principal branches: strategy, tactics, fortification and logistics, and while they are more or less dependent on each other, the first three are very intimately allied. Strategy determines the location of a position to be occupied by troops in the furtherance of a campaign; tactics disposes of the troops on the position selected, while fortification improves the natural features of the position so as to increase the chances of success. Fortification has, therefore, been defined as the art of increasing, by engineering devices, the fighting power of troops occupying a position for receiving or making an attack.
