Disposal space is a military, tactical and operational term that is one of the terms used to organize space. Disposal rooms are set up primarily in the front combat zone, but also in the entire operational area of ​​land forces, in order to keep troops available to the command for further or follow-up missions.

• Troops that are prepared for an attack or that are brought up to it make their preparations in the disposition rooms. These should be out of the range of the mass of enemy artillery and so that the approach from them can be smooth and quick. The troops should only stay in the rooms for as long as they need for their preparations.
• At water crossings, disposal areas are to be set up on both sides of the water in order to avoid massages and damming. The preparatory or follow-up activities for the water crossing must be carried out in the disposal rooms .
• For marches along the march road, areas of disposition are to be determined in order to allow troops to move there in the event of unforeseen changes and to keep them available.
• Troops usually move into disposition rooms before taking over a defense section. In the control room, the supply is completed and the technical readiness for action increased or restored while the leaders of the troops explore the positions.

When exploring and moving into disposition areas, care must be taken to ensure that the troops, right down to the individual vehicles, flow in and undergo in such a way that they are already in the correct order for the follow-up order and can flow out again or be withdrawn in the new battle structure . The troops must always secure areas of disposal on all sides, for this purpose the local leader orders the security strips or sectors for the individual troops. Particular attention is to be paid to camouflage so that the troops are not already informed in the control room, from which the enemy could draw important conclusions about the planned conduct of operations. For this reason, radio and radar broadcasting bans are usually given in access rooms.

Usually forest areas to smooth be ordered as available spaces that need to have enough street and road links, inflow and outflow to allow the troops. Disposal areas are rarely located in forests or similar areas. Then the unit or sub-unit leader has to choose an area that is hidden from view, for example behind hilltops. The space available for a battalion is around 8-20 square kilometers. The expansion of available areas is not spatially limited, but in the case of an armored train, care should always be taken to ensure that the expansion takes place in such a way that enemy steep fire cannot occupy the entire area at once.

Trivia

An admission ritual in the Bundeswehr is to have a recruit in the barracks - in the most inconvenient way possible - get the "key to the access room". The ignorance of the as yet inexperienced soldiers with regard to military technical terms is exploited.
