This monograph develops a conceptual framework for the integration of stationary forces in 'strongpoints' into a defense based primarily on heavy mobile forces. It is oriented on NATO in Europe, where most of these 'strongpoints' will be based on urban terrain. It combines the theoretical writings of Carl von Clausewitz and Ferdinand O. Miksche with historical experience in the Spanish Civil War, World War II, and the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. It then points to doctrinal problems which must be solved before we can try to implement it.
