In former times this used to be generally the border area of ones own country, but in recent wars (Gulf War, Kosovo, Iraq War) it may also be the border area of another unrelated country granting access. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-06-11 20:07:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, I think it also applies to civil context. Check the following additional definitions I found for staging area: - place where people line up - any area or place serving as a point of assembly or preparation on the way to a destination. OR, check this out, paying attention to item 2: staging area stag·ing ar·e·a (plural stag·ing ar·e·as) noun Definition: 1. place for assembling military force: a place where soldiers and military equipment are gathered for final organization, outfitting, and training before deployment on an operation 2. assembly point: a place where people stop or assemble before undertaking an activity or task |
