FM/BG-1123.V1.01 - Reverse slope defence                        
                                
        
        Position defenders on the side of a hill opposite the enemy. This limits enemy observation and firepower until they crest. Benefits include protection from direct fire and artillery, but it requires forward observers and a plan for difficult withdrawals. If possible, include a rear slope security element.
