Defensive Line

Brunant's Defensive Line was a series of defenses in the Central Ranges aimed at deterring an invasion of Brunant. These were never as extensive or comprehensive as those used by Germany, the Swiss, Italy and elsewhere, instead relying more on the geography itself and limiting access to crossing routes through the mountains.

Construction
Plans for a defensive line were formulated from the 1880s, with serious planning occurring from 1885. Between 1888 and 1903 several bunkers were placed in the mountains and the 5th Light Infantry Company was to man them.

From 1917 dragon's teeth were located near Cornel and Pyrmont and would be moved to place during an invasion.

World War I
The threat of an invasion was highly unlikely, but several officers and especially politicians feared the thought and some number of soldiers were used to man the bunkers instead of serving in France or Belgium. Soldiers were given the Model 1877 cannon as a main artillery weapon.

World War II
The swiftness of the German invasion on 20 May and the apparent disarray at defense from military superiors prevented full manning of the bunkers and defenses. A multi-pronged landing on both the southern and northern coasts vastly reduced the value of holding the mountain passes and by 24 May all the key bunkers were taken.

Dragon's teeth were laid out blocking the road near Pyrmont but in Cornel the vehicle to mount them into place was recalled for other service.
