Extensive Definition
The purpose of interdiction is to delay, disrupt,
or destroy enemy forces or supplies en route to the battle area. A
distinction is often made between strategic and tactical
interdiction. The former refers to operations whose effects are
broad and long-term; tactical operations are designed to affect
events rapidly and in a localized area.
