What this explains
Rear defense is not synonymous with homeland defense. These installations may be far from Silvia while still supporting a Silvian front. Their protection reduces the need to divert maneuver divisions away from their primary tasks. Security troops therefore contribute to offensive endurance even when they are not leading the advance.
