The Benacian Western Defence Zone was an area of fortifications and prepared defensive works, commenced by the Benacian Union and the Benacia Command of the Raspur Pact along the frontiers of Amokolia and Siyachia facing onto the eastern border of Batavia. Work began on the fortifications following the accession of Batavia into the USSO, repudiating the obligations of its neutrality and obliging the allied Benacian powers to begin a build up of armaments.

Following the Batavian decision of 24.IX.1702 AN, the Black Legions began to mobilize the civilian population of Siyachia to help prepare the defences. By the end of the tenth month more than 105,000 civilians were at work, that figure rising to 300,000 by Oskalteq, as conscripts from the Benacian Labour Reserve began to arrive. The object of their labours was the construction of a series of defences designed specifically to embroil, channel and 'bleed white' the mass of armour that the USSO were expected to deploy. Under the guidance of contracted ESB engineers, a 'belt' of regimental fire and support positions, anti-tank 'resistance points' and mines linked by an extensive trench system was established. 8.5cm anti-aircraft guns and 12.2cm and 15.2cm howitzers supported by 12.0cm heavy mortars were emplaced in heavily camouflaged circular fire positions to bring rapid and very heavy fire to bear on the potential axes of a hypothetical Batavian advance.
