A wagon fort, wagon fortress, wagenburg or corral,[1] often referred to as circling the wagons, is a temporary fortification made of wagons arranged into a rectangle, circle, or other shape and possibly joined with each other to produce an improvised military camp. It is also known as a laager (from Afrikaans), especially in historical African contexts,[2][3] and a tabor (from Polish/Ukrainian/Russian) among the Cossacks.[4]
