The article presents examples of selected battles conducted using fortification in military conflicts after 1945. In the second half of the 20th century, armies took advantage of permanent fortifications, which during local wars were significantly modernised and transformed. The Indo-Chinese War, the French-Algerian conflict and Israeli-Arab wars gave many interesting examples of the fortification development in 1945-1954. However, it can be noticed that only well developed countries’ armies developed the fortifications, the system of which resembled the military architecture from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The French fortified camp “Dien Bien Phu” and Israeli line “Bar'Leva” are examples of such fortifications erected after 1945, in spite of the fact that they were built in the semi-permanent fortification system. We can see further evolution and broad use of fortifications taking into consideration the diversity of their role and forms in military conflicts in the second half of the 20th century. The terrain and modern war technology to strengthen the fortifications were always taken into account. The fortifications’ strength of defence was also conditioned by the armies’ logistical and material possibilities. The forms of fortifications depended on the tasks carried out by the armies and the development of engineering. Although the contemporary war gained an air-land character, modern armies still face many difficulties in order to capture fortified points, areas and zones.
