Those studies are always worth a read – might unearth a nugget or two. |

One overlooked example of an excellent reverse slope defense was Victor's defense of the Berezina bridgehead against Wittgenstein in November 1812. |

We practiced reverse-slope defense a couple of times in Korea and at Ft. Irwin. Being a combat engineer, our biggest contribution was to seed the reverse-slope itself with a hasty minefield, using either FASCAM mines or a hand-laid mix of AT and APERS mines. When the enemy rolls over the crest into the engagement area, their expected tactic is to blitz down off the reverse face in order to minimize their exposure, but once they hit the mines, that becomes problematic. |
