Ideally. Of course, swamps deep enough to sink tanks are just as good.
As is incredibly thick underbrush. I've seen palmetto groves which
are simply impassable, even to a small group of men.

have some organic breaching capability, pioneers/engineers are better
at it for reasons of training and equipment! And from what I've seen,
temperment. :)
