Definition
An indication that at least 50 percent of the terrain within an area is covered by a large number of vertical structures that are separated by ground-level passageways (for example: walkways, alleys, roads).
Description
A high concentration of vertical structures provides good cover and concealment, limits fields of observation and fire, and slows, diverts, or stops the movement of personnel or vehicles. Vertical structures are man-made features or objects, for example, buildings or non-building structures, such as, water towers, storage tanks, tombs, grave markers or memorial monuments.
