10 May 15 th to August 25th French Command decides to position a garrison Bou Denib to facilitate operations in Morocco. Construction begins on a walled encampment on the flat land north of the Guir that will become the main base for the garrison (The Redoubt) Construction also begins on a fortified position on a prominent Gara (hill) south of the river that over looks the entire area and can provide advance warning to the garrison (provisioned with a telescope) (The Blockhaus) The existing Goum (local police) tower was reinforced with trenches, wire, widened firing ports, stronger doors and a repaired outer wall. (Goum Tower) An officer and 80 (Legion & Turco) men were also positioned in the Ksar to stiffen up the local resistance (and as a subtle reminder that they recently swore peace with the French. (Ksar) Communications between the Redoubt and the Blockhaus were established by Telegraph Optique as well as with Colomb Bechar through as series of relays starting at Bou-Anan. Telephones were used between the Ksar and the Redoubt.

This was a prominent local structure (actually a tomb of a local holy man) located 200m east of the Ksar. (Slides 22-24) Palmerie & River. This is the palm forest located all round the two Ksars. It is heavily irrigated and cultivated and crisscrossed with roads, walls, houses, bermns, and structures. It is also inhabited by many locals. (Slides 25-29) The Redoubt.
