Scorched Earth
Campaign

 

…a military strategy that targets anything that might be useful to the enemy while advancing through or withdrawing from an area. Specifically, all of the assets that are used or can be used by the enemy are targeted, such as food sources, transportation, communications, industrial resources, and even the people in the area.

 

The practice can be carried out by the military in enemy territory, or in its own home territory. It may overlap with, but is not the same as, punitive destruction of the enemy's resources, which is done for purely strategic/political reasons rather than strategic/operational reasons.

 

The most famous use of such a strategy in modern times was the operation carried out by
Captain Adam Cain
, UMF (et al), in a campaign directed against Juirean forces during the Second Human-Juirean War. Although historians are conflicted as to whether or not the operation was conducted under official sanction, the end results are undisputed. Depending on which side of the conflict is reporting, Captain Cain is considered either a hero or a villain for his command of the operation. Time will be the final arbiter in the matter of Adam Cain….
