Hi guys,
     This is also called 'final defensive line'.  If defending an
area with overlapping lines/fields of fire of the units MGs.
This is the closest line of fire to the defenders line that the MG
can/will adopt during an assault by enemy forces.   This line is 
frequently just behind the wire/mine areas.
