Redoubt

A redoubt is a fortified defensive structure, typically a small and enclosed one, used in military contexts. It is designed to protect troops or serve as a stronghold during battle. Redoubts are often built to withstand attacks and provide a tactical advantage. They may be constructed with earth, wood, or other materials, often featuring walls or barriers. The term can also refer to a safe retreat or backup position in military strategy, providing a refuge or strong point for forces in a conflict.
