Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv2AyBpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Digging_Trench</a> involves a military unit digging a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv1gmFpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Trench</a>, which would protect and hide friendly troops from the enemy. Unlike a mere hole, a trench is long, narrow, and usually steep-sided.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv2AyBpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Digging_Trench</a> involves a military unit digging a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv1gmFpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Trench</a>, which would protect and hide friendly troops from the enemy. Unlike a mere hole, a trench is long, narrow, and usually steep-sided. Digging-Trench A collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwEyhqpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEventType_Fundamental</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvnSeAJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEvent</a>, applicable across variations in doctrine. For example, #$Reconnaissance-MilitaryFundamental is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwEyhqpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEventType_Fundamental</a>, because it denotes a type of action widely regarded by military experts as fundamental; some kind of reconnaissance is basic to military operations of most sorts. One can classify an unknown forces actions as instances of #$Reconnaissance-MilitaryFundamental without assuming shared doctrine. In contrast, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvz9aXpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ClearingAnEnemy</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwUwIMJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEventType_Doctrinal</a>, because it denotes an activity specifically defined by #UnitedStatesArmy doctrine. Because they are relatively free of association with doctrinal procedures and constraints, instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwEyhqpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEventType_Fundamental</a> are of greatest use in analysis of the actions of another force. In such analysis, applying instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwUwIMJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEventType_Doctrinal</a> requires making assumptions about the doctrinal procedures and constraints the other force is observing. For the same reasons, instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwUwIMJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEventType_Doctrinal</a> are of the greatest use in the communication of plans and orders. A plan or order specified using these concepts contains those procedures and constraints implicitly. fundamental military event MilitaryEventType-Fundamental 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 digging a trench <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv2AyBpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Digging_Trench</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwEyhqpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEventType_Fundamental</a> and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvnSeAJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEvent</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViVJ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DiggingAHole</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv2AyBpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Digging_Trench</a> involves a military unit digging a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv1gmFpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Trench</a>, which would protect and hide friendly troops from the enemy. Unlike a mere hole, a trench is long, narrow, and usually steep-sided. Digging-Trench DiggingAHole burrow A collection of events. In each <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViVJ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DiggingAHole</a>, one or more agents (usually <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViwMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Animal</a>s) removes material from some substrate (such as the soil), so that a hole is formed. If the digger is a person, tools or heavy equipment may be used; other organisms just use their claws, snouts, etc. A borderline case of this concept occurs when a plant's roots grow. Another borderline case occurs when an animal finds an existing hole and enlarges it. military event MilitaryEvent The collection of all military events, including <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjfq5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">War</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViusJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Battle</a>s, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvgD3bpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Explosion</a>s, and military <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvV9B6ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Training</a>. Note that these events need not be organized or planned, just connected to the military in some way. digging a trench <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv2AyBpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Digging_Trench</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwEyhqpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEventType_Fundamental</a> and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvnSeAJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryEvent</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViVJ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DiggingAHole</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv2AyBpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Digging_Trench</a> involves a military unit digging a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv1gmFpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Trench</a>, which would protect and hide friendly troops from the enemy.
