The CORF (Commission of Organization of the Strengthened Areas) is created on September 30, 1927. It is charged to implement the organization envisaged of the borders. I.e. that it draws the plans of the fortifications, makes study the new materials which must equip them, and proceeds to the realization of the unit. This is why we give the qualifier of “works CORF” to these fortifications, in opposition to the constructions not CORF, light, built after 1935.
Since 1935, the budgetary restrictions helping, anti-fortifications CORF carry it, ratify the adjournments of blocks of artillery and are directed towards a “light” fortification, neither homogeneous nor effective.
