Relief (military)
Relief, as a military term, refers to the breaking of a siege or an encirclement by an outside force.[1] Relief may occur in conjunction with a breakout. It is one of four possible conclusions of investment, the others being a breakout, surrender or reduction. The force that effects relief is known as the "relieving force" or colloquially "rescue party". Following relief, the town or fortification is said to have been "relieved".
Notable relief forces
gollark: ```python>>> memmove(id(8), id(407), sys.getsizeof(7))140001623574880free(): invalid sizefish: “python3” terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)```This does *not* work, I assume because CPython only has a cache of integers -5 to 255 or something.
gollark: This is highly idiomatic python.
gollark: ```python>>> memmove(id(7), id(8), sys.getsizeof(7))140001623574848>>> 78```YES!
gollark: Sadly, no, I assume I must move all 28 bytes.
gollark: ```pythoncast(id(7), POINTER(c_int64)).contents = cast(id(8), POINTER(c_int64)).contents```It's weirdly fine with this.
