viivituse meetod, mille puhul mitu üksust kordamööda viivitavad määratud viivituskoridori ulatuses
a method of delay in which execution of the delay is transferred to another unit at the rearward boundary of the assigned sector
Hea teada
When using this method two or more subunits manoeuvre along the same axis. One occupies the first delaying position and engages the enemy. The second occupies and improves the second delaying position, normally sited in depth to the first position.
In a delay using alternating bounds, two or more units in a single assigned area occupy delaying positions in depth. As the first unit engages enemy forces, the second unit occupies the next position in depth and prepares to assume responsibility for the operation. The first force disengages and passes around or through the second force. It then moves to the next position and prepares to reengage enemy forces while the second force engages enemy forces.
