fortified position
Reinforced military station
A fortified position is a location strengthened against attack through defensive structures—walls, trenches, bunkers, or natural terrain advantages.
Military forces establish fortified positions to hold ground: The enemy dug into fortified positions along the ridge.
The phrase appears in strategic discussions where defenders have prepared to resist assault.
