Overwatch (táctica militar)

Overwatch es una táctica de protección de fuerza en la guerra moderna, en la que una pequeña unidad militar , vehículo o aeronave apoya a otra unidad amiga mientras esta última ejecuta tácticas de fuego y movimiento . El término fue acuñado en la doctrina militar estadounidense en la década de 1950. ^[1]

Una unidad de vigilancia normalmente toma una posición ventajosa (normalmente un terreno elevado o una estructura alta con buena protección ) desde donde puede observar el terreno que se encuentra más adelante, especialmente las posibles posiciones y movimientos del enemigo. Esto le permite actuar como un sistema de advertencia contra agresiones hostiles y proporcionar fuego de cobertura eficaz para las unidades amigas que avanzan.
