For an August 2004 deletion debate over this page see: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Overwatch

To the author, Weatherman: I realize that this article is new, and Wikipedia needs articles on military topics. See the VfD debate, though: If this is a commonly used military term, we need some evidence of that. Also, the information, if it cannot be expanded, might well be better on a List of military terms article. We no doubt need military information, but at present this is a bit too brief and unexplained. Geogre 13:52, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

This page was placed on VfD: Discussion resulted in decision to RETAIN: A military term with difficult-to-establish usage. I wrote a note on the article's discussion tab asking the author to expand or consider another manner of providing the information to Wikipedia. Geogre 13:57, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

   * Keep. Very common military concept used in any discussion of modern tactics of "fire and maneuver". Current content is a mere definition (and not completely right). I'll try to fix it later. Rossami 15:23, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
         o Comment: That's all I could ask for, Rossami. I sure don't mind being proven wrong, if it means we get good articles on military topics that we've been lacking. Geogre 17:30, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
   * Keep. As above. DJ Clayworth 18:12, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
   * Keep. Even if Rossami does not have time to expand, it is a valuable entry and someone with extensive military knowledge could add great contribution to it (i.e. common usage, historical usage, examples, etc.) Skyler 21:14, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
   * Keep Important military concept, merits expansion, not deletion. -FZ 15:42, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)


What about the term 'bounding overwatch' , where the unit is split into two or more subunits and one moves under cover of the others?
