In military science, a compound is a type of fortification made up of walls or fences surrounding several buildings in the center of a large piece of land. The walls can either serve the purpose of being tall, thick, and impenetrable, in which case they would be made of wood, stone, or some other like substance; or dangerous to attempt to scale, in which case they could be made of barbed wire or electrified. Compounds can be designed to double as living spaces and military structures in the middle of hostile territory or as a military area within a country's territory; they are also used by those who want to protect against threats to themselves or their property.

  • Compound è un termine di lingua inglese che, nella scienza militare, indica un edificio o gruppo di edifici delimitati da una recinzione più o meno alta o ancora maggiormente difesi a fortificazione. In questo senso assume un significato simile a quello di bunker. Può anche essere intesa come un'area chiusa utilizzata per difendere gli occupanti da aggressioni, ma anche per confinare i prigionieri di guerra, al pari di un campo di concentramento. (it)

  • In military science, a compound is a type of fortification made up of walls or fences surrounding several buildings in the center of a large piece of land. The walls can either serve the purpose of being tall, thick, and impenetrable, in which case they would be made of wood, stone, or some other like substance; or dangerous to attempt to scale, in which case they could be made of barbed wire or electrified. Compounds can be designed to double as living spaces and military structures in the middle of hostile territory or as a military area within a country's territory; they are also used by those who want to protect against threats to themselves or their property. A number of survivalists own fortified compound-like structures as a means of protection in case civilization breaks down or their government becomes abusive. The term compound is also used to refer to an unfortified enclosure, especially in Africa and Asia. See compound (enclosure). (en)

In questo senso assume un significato simile a quello di bunker. Può anche essere intesa come un'area chiusa utilizzata per difendere gli occupanti da aggressioni, ma anche per confinare i prigionieri di guerra, al pari di un campo di concentramento. Il termine deriva da una alterazione della parola in lingua malese kampong, che significa villaggio. Un'altra ipotesi è che derivi dal termine latino componere, dato che la parola in inglese significa anche composto, ad esempio in chimica. (it)
