Since the [[Military Besserung of 1944]], | Since the [[Military Besserung of 1944]], KVA ground tactics consists of large mechanized and armoured assaults with supporting artillery using the Calinthian strategy of '[[Defense Maneuver|''Manöververteidigung'']]' (maneuver defense). In Maneuver Defense, Calinthian forces dig entrenched forward positions in such a way that they can easily fall back while under the cover of other nearby friendly positions. When the KVA go on the offensive, they do so slowly and methodically, building entrenchments, forward operating bases, and solidifying logistical lines. In addition, a strong reliance on tanks, mobile infantry, as well as mass artillery mean that no unit has a high likelihood of being unsupported at any given time. However, in exchange for survivability and time, KVA forces relinquish land and even fortified positions. This means most KVA units choose to retreat to better positions rather than stay and fight to the death. However, some generals will give or be given the order to hold their positions in a static defense such as at the [[Battle of Wagner Platz]]. Most Calinthian equipment represents this strategy and preference of long range engagements. KVA general [[Haus von Klaive|Hannelore von Klaive]] was the first to formalize the concept of maneuver defense against loyalists in the Calinthian Civil War. | ||
