1. chokepoint

   In military strategy, a choke point (or chokepoint) is a geographical feature on land such as a valley, defile or bridge, or maritime passage through a critical waterway such as a strait, which an armed force is forced to pass through in order to reach its objective, sometimes on a substantially narrowed front and therefore greatly decreasing its combat effectiveness by making it harder to bring superior numbers to bear. A choke point can allow a numerically inferior defending force to use the terrain as a force multiplier to thwart or ambush a much larger opponent, as the attacker cannot advance any further without first securing passage through the choke point.

1. chokepoint

   A chokepoint is a point of congestion or blockage in a system, often a physical or geographical location or a narrow part in a route or means of transportation, where a large volume of traffic or flow needs to pass through. It is a place of potential vulnerability or strategic advantage, as controlling or blocking this point can disrupt the entire system or flow, often used in the context of military strategy or logistics. It can also be used metaphorically in other fields such as communication, economics, or information technology to denote a point that can limit or control the flow of information, goods, etc.
