Breakthrough (military)

Dear Wikipedia editor,

I noted a missing word in the wikipedia. Though it was previously possible to add an article, and your reasons for more regulation from the wild internet population are understandable: no I do not quote sources; this article is about a general term that I described in my own words, being an (amateur) specialist on the subject. I came here because a link was added by someone to another article that I submitted some time ago ("Encirclement"), but the link was void to the subject.

Thank you. <<article follows>>

A breakthrough occurs when an offensive force has broken the enemy defensive line, and is rapidly exploiting the gap. Usually, large force is employed on a relative small portion of the front to achieve this. While the line may have held for a long while prior to the breakthrough, the breakthrough marks a relatively small timeframe where the pressure on the defender leads him to "snap" in a very short timespan. As the first unit breaks, the adjacent units suffer adverse results from this (spreading panic, additional defensive angles, threat to supply lines) and, since hey were already pressured as well, leads them to "snap" as well, causing a domino-style collapse of the defensive system. The defensive force thus evaporates at the breakthrough point, giving the attacker the option to rapidly move troops into the gap, exploiting the breakthrough in width (by attacking enemy units at the edge of the breakthrough, so widening it), in depth (advancing into enemy terrritory and strategic objectives), or a combination of both.

  • Declined - Sorry, there does need to be at least one reliable source cited for the article to be verifiable. If it's in common use such a source shouldn't be hard to find. Otherwise, this looks good. Feel free to find a mention of this in at least one reliable source and resubmit this suggestion. Thanks, delldot | talk 07:52, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
