Military or tactical engagement in response to or opposing another engagement; participation in conflict to oppose another side.
From 'counter-' + 'engagement' (from Old French 'engager', meaning to pledge or commit). Military terminology emphasizing the responsive nature of defensive action.
In military strategy, counterengagement isn't just response—it's calculated opposition designed to neutralize an opponent's advantage. It's how the weaker force sometimes defeats the stronger through clever positioning.
