Turning movement
In military tactics, a turning movement is a form of maneuver in which the attacking force seeks to avoid the enemy's principle defensive positions by seizing objectives behind the enemy's current positions, thereby causing the enemy force to move out of their current positions or divert major forces to meet the threat. One early example is the Battle of Lake Trasimene during the Second Punic War.[1]
Examples
- Battle of Lake Trasimene (217 BC)
- Battle of Ulm (1805)
- Peninsula Campaign (1862)
- Sherman's March to the Sea (1864)

gollark: Looks like it.
gollark: I don't think it makes sense to give some people more or less voting power depending on where they live, especially since it's in a convoluted way and based on ancient borders which were probably kind of arbitrarily picked.
