FM/BG-1762.V1.01 - Using mines for defence
Mines are used to deny areas and control how the enemy moves. How you place them depends on how many you have and what you’re trying to achieve.
There are two main ways to use them:
- Dense minefields
- Place mines close together to make moving through the area very difficult
- Slows the enemy down and forces them to move carefully
- Targeted placement
- Place mines along likely routes (roads, gaps, open ground)
- Push the enemy into worse terrain or away from key areas
- Force them to spend time clearing or rerouting
Mines work best when combined with other defences. On their own they slow the enemy, but when covered by fire and observation they become much more effective.
For effective use:
- Place them where you can see the area
- Cover them with direct or indirect fire
- Combine them with obstacles like tank traps or barriers
