National Redoubt
A National Redoubt is a general term for an area to which the (remnant) forces of a nation can be withdrawn if the main battle has been lost — or even beforehand if defeat is considered to be inevitable anyway. Typically a region is chosen with a geography favouring defence, such as a mountainous area or a peninsula, in order to function as a final hold-out to preserve national independence for the duration of the conflict.
