When applied to military units, defense implies use of defensive tactics that seek to negate enemy offensive tactics.

A defensive military doctrine implies operation of larger military forces from a largely defensive posture, which at the operational warfare scale assumes the form of defense in depth, and at strategic scale encompasses a large area of operations such as the Maginot Line by large parts of the French Army before World War II.

In military operations planning, a defensive strategy is the policy of preventing an attack, or minimizing the damage of an attack, by the forces assuming defense in strategic depth for preventing an enemy from conquering territory.

In OMG it is a Doctrine available to Wehrmacht players that emphasizes Defenses, Machine Guns, and Artillery.
