Trip-wire force

Trip-wire force

A military force, too small in itself to resist successfully, but nonetheless deployed against a potential enemy, e.g. stationed along what, in the case of war would become a military front line, or in a contested area to dissuade enemy from attacking with the knowledge that such attack would trigger a massive counter-attack and/or the intervention of a major power; the UN Emergency Force played this role along the Israeli-Egyptian armistice line (until May 1967)
