Abatis Abatis , abattis , or abbattis is a term in field fortification for an obstacle formed ( in the modern era ) of the branches of trees laid in a row , with the sharpened tops directed outwards , towards the enemy . The trees are usually interlaced or tied with wire . Abatis are used alone or in combination with wire entanglement s and other obstacles . There is evidence it was used as early as the Roman Imperial period , and as recently as the American Civil War . Abatis is rarely seen nowadays , having been largely replaced by wire obstacle s . However , it may be used as a replacement or supplement when barbed wire is in short supply . A form of giant abatis , using whole trees instead of branches , can be used as an improvised anti - tank obstacle . A classic use of an abatis was found at the Battle of the Chateauguay , 26 October 1813 , when approximately 1 , 300 Canadian voltigeurs , under the command of Charles - Michel de Salaberry , defeated an American corps of approximately 4 , 000 men . Another striking example was its use by Alexander Macomb in the stunning victory at the Battle of Plattsburgh . An important weakness of abatis , in contrast to barbed wire , is that it can be destroyed by fire . Also , if laced together with rope instead of wire , the rope can be very quickly destroyed by such fires , after which the abatis can be quickly pulled apart by grappling hook s thrown from a safe distance . An important advantage is that an improvised abatis can be quickly formed in forested areas . This can be done by simply cutting down a row of trees so that they fall with their tops toward the enemy . An alternative is to place explosives so as to blow the trees down . Though rarely used by modern conventional military units , abatises are still officially maintained in United States Army and Marine Corps training . Current training instructs engineers or other constructors of such obstacles to fell trees , leaving a 1 or 2 yard stump , in such a manner as the trees fall interlocked pointing at a 45 - degree angle towards the direction of approach of the enemy . Furthermore , it is recommended that the trees remain connected to the stumps and the length of roadway covered be at least 80 yards . US military maps record an abatis by use of an inverted " V " with a short line extending from it to the right .
