make an effective rapidly emplaced obstacle system. Infiltration attempts may be detected along
existing or reinforcing obstacles. Scatterable mines can be used to block the enemy's withdrawal, to
restrict his lateral movement, or to strengthen the obstacles.

appropriate available firepower and maneuver resources.
