military zones

Armed forces territories

Military zones are areas designated by governmental or military authority where special rules apply, typically restricting civilian access or activity.

They may surround bases, training grounds, or sensitive installations.

During wartime, military zones can encompass combat areas, occupied territories, or exclusion zones where civilian ships and aircraft enter at their own risk: The navy declared a military zone around the contested islands.
