To retain is to occupy and hold a terrain 18 feature so that the enemy can not occupy or use it. The commander assigning this task must specify the area to be retained and the duration of the retention, which is time- or event-driven. While a unit is conducting this task, decisive engagement can occur.

Retain-MilitaryTask retaining A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVirnZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a> (q.v.) whose instances are all and only those collections that are temporally object-like. A collection <code>COL</code> is temporally object-like just in case it generally holds that any proper purely temporal parts (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWn4OZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a>) of an instance of <code>COL</code> is not itself an instance of <code>COL</code>. More precisely, a collection <code>COL</code> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViq35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a> just in case it satisfies the following: For any distinct <code>OBJ1</code> and <code>OBJ2</code>, if <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ1 COL)</code> and <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWn4OZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> OBJ1 OBJ2)</code>, then not <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ2 COL)</code>. For example, none of the proper time-slices of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjyV5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CalendarYear</a> is itself a calendar year. Likewise for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViYBpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a>. So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjyV5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CalendarYear</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViYBpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a> are both instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViq35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a>. Conversely, a proper time-slice of a given <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVisWZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Date</a> might itself be a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVisWZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Date</a> (e.g. an hour has minutes and seconds as time-slices); so <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVisWZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Date</a> is not a temporal-object-type. See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVitN5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a> for the disjoint notion of being temporally stuff-like. TemporalObjectType temporal object type Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString To retain is to occupy and hold a terrain 18 feature so that the enemy can not occupy or use it. The commander assigning this task must specify the area to be retained and the duration of the retention, which is time- or event-driven.

Retain-MilitaryTask retaining MilitaryTaskedActionType type of military task The collection of all types of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVieP5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PurposefulAction</a> that can be assigned as tasks (cf. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvpz69JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">unitAssignedToTask</a>) to a military unit (cf. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQWn3pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ModernMilitaryUnit_Deployable</a>). Examples of instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rBvMr-qWFEdaAAAABAxv6tg" class="cyc_term">MilitaryTaskedActionType</a> are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvbfzAZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AttackOnObject</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv4jqZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhysicalDestructionEvent</a>. It is not assumed that any spec whatsoever of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwCCSNZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryAction</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rBvMr-qWFEdaAAAABAxv6tg" class="cyc_term">MilitaryTaskedActionType</a> : e.g., the collection of tasks to be performed by UNIT003 by 3 pm on July 31 might well be a spec of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwCCSNZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryAction</a>, but it shouldn't be a military task _type_ in its own right. (In other words: this collection does not include the powerset of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwCCSNZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryAction</a>.) MilitaryAction The collection of all military tasks such as might be assigned to deployable, modern military units. A particular task is performed by one and only one unit, although other units may function in a support capacity, and subunits of the performing unit may be assigned tasks that figure as subtasks of the performing unit's assigned task. In this case the tasks of the subordinate units should be related to the overarching task of the superior unit by the #$subTasks relation. A single unit may be assigned more than one task. Notice that this collection is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvnSeAJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEvent</a>, not <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvhxFJZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryOperation</a> complex events take account of both primary tasks and their subtasks and also distinct support tasks. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwCCSNZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryAction</a> may properly figure as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViQmZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">subEvents</a> in an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvhxFJZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryOperation</a>. military action To retain is to occupy and hold a terrain 18 feature so that the enemy can not occupy or use it.
