Years: 638 - 638

The Empire's field armies are withdrawn at some point in the mid-seventh century, probably in the late 630s, to Anatolia, the last major contiguous territory remaining to the Empire, and assigned to the districts that will become known as the themes.

Heraclius creates a buffer zone or no man's land in the heartland of Asia Minor.

In the mountainous terrain of Anatolia, the imperial forces develop a system of defensive guerrilla warfare.

The strategy is known as ‘shadowing warfare’, as it avoids battle with major Muslim invasions and instead attacks raiding parties on their return when they are laden with booty, captured livestock or prisoners.
