This is history told through maneuvers—encirclements and tank formations and the like. ❋ Tom Nagorski (2011)
By early August, most of the mass encirclements had already occurred as the Germans surged forward. ❋ John Mosier (2010)
Tactically, the success of the Luftwaffe in supplying the Germans inside the pocket centered on Kholm and Demyansk suggested that such encirclements were only temporary reverses. ❋ John Mosier (2010)
The spring encirclements suggested that there had definitely been some improvement, because Soviet forces had managed coordinated envelopments. ❋ John Mosier (2010)
-- Israeli human rights abuses, home demolitions, land seizures, arbitrary arrests, torture, travel and movement restrictions, and closure and encirclements of villages and communities. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Those who had escaped the encirclements, and those drafted in to fill the gaping holes where divisions had been, began fighting in a different way. ❋ David Downing (2009)
Von Bock wearily explained that he and von Kluge no longer had the numbers to pull off such encirclements, and thanked his lucky stars that Hitler was too busy obsessing over Rostov to pursue the matter. ❋ David Downing (2009)
When the victory bells rang in England at the end of November, tank supporters were sure that they were tolling out an old style of war and sounding in a new one, which would be characterized by deep thrusts and encirclements rather than the bloody paralysis of the trenches. ❋ Craig, Gordon A. (2002)
We tried to make it easier for the Palestinian civilians, but whenever we opened roadblocks, we opened encirclements over towns, immediately the response was more terror attacks. ❋ Unknown (2002)
This is a rough, tough, area and we know from many, many examples of previous military encirclements how difficult it is to really cut off a force and prevent all communication, entries and exit from the outsides. ❋ Unknown (2001)
The elimination of the main enemy grouping in one or more encirclements would then allow an advance across a broad frontage to the planned depth of the operation. ❋ United States Army (1998)
Attack by two army groups on multiple axes (with encirclements of bypassed groupings). ❋ United States Army (1998)
Using a combination of attacks on multiple axes across a broad frontage and encirclements, the OPFOR attempts to achieve operational and strategic missions through deep operations. ❋ United States Army (1998)
Figure 2-5 provides an example of how two army groups could employ a combination of attacks on multiple axes with encirclements of bypassed groupings. ❋ United States Army (1998)
