For some reason, I thought there were actual rules to War a very long time ago... Not "rules" , but more of "loose guidelines", or am I just imagining it on my own? Probably am, it's late.
Anyhow, digging out trenches took a very long time. With plasma hailing over one's head the last thing I'd be worried about is if my trench was dug yet.
There were and still are. Articles of the geneva convention govern certain aspects of war (what weapons can be used, how to treat prisoners of war, etc). Most militaries have Rules of Engagement (ROE) for a particular operating theater.
The covenant (to our knowledge) have none of this. Taking the time to dig trenches would have zero effect on someone who will use everything in their power to destroy you.
