Strategic depth is a term in military literature that broadly refers to the distances between the front
lines or battle sectors and the combatants' industrial core areas, capital cities, heartlands, and other
key centers of population or military production.
The key precepts any military commander must consider when dealing with strategic depth are how
vulnerable these assets are to a quick, preemptive attack or to a methodical offensive and whether a
country can withdraw into its own territory, absorb an initial thrust, and allow the subsequent offensive
to culminate short of its goal and far from its source of power.
The concept of Strategic Depth emerges from the realm of military operations and it usually
denotes the distance between enemy forces and the main centres of gravity of a country. These
centres could be military frontlines, bases, or industrial and commercial hubs. For a military
professional, the greater the distance that has to be traversed by enemy forces to reach these
bases, the better are the chances of a successful defensive operation. This is primarily because it
gives the defender more time and space to organise the defence and stretches the enemy’s
logistical chain.
In more contemporary times, some in Pakistan have justified meddling in Afghanistan so that they
can attain ‘strategic depth’ in case of a war with India. This, however, logically means that the
Pakistani military will desert its people and the country and operate out of Afghanistan to fight
India.

of population should be similar to the food supply, so overpopulation will cause lack of food, and as
the rate of growth of population exceeds the rate of production, economic development is
hampered.
b. “Given that there is a fixed quantity of land, population growth will eventually reduce the amount
of resources that each individual can consume, ultimately resulting in disease, starvation, and war.”
