delay from alternate positions
воен., логист.	Requires two manoeuvre units in a single sector. While the first is fighting, the second occupies the next position in depth and prepares to assume responsibility for the operation and support by fire the disengagement of the first force. The first force disengages and passes through or around the second, moving to resume the delay from a position in greater depth, while the second force takes up the fight. (FRA)
