A reserve is not a rearguard

[edit]

In the modern era a rearguard is tasked with protecting a retreating army, or possibly a small one advancing through hostile territory where the enemy closes in behind the force. It is not a description for a reserve force that aids an attack by mopping up strong points. For that reason I have removed the following unsourced text (WP:PROVIT).
