In
military strategy, a
choke point (or
chokepoint) is a
geographical feature on
land such as a
valley,
defile or
bridge, or
maritime passage through a critical
waterway such as a
strait, which an
armed force is forced to pass through in order to reach its
objective, sometimes on a
substantially narrowed front and therefore
greatly decreasing its combat effectiveness by making it harder to
bring superior numbers to bear. A
choke point can allow a numerically inferior defending force to use the
terrain as a
force multiplier to thwart or
ambush a much larger opponent, as the
attacker cannot advance any further without
first securing passage through the choke point.
