Turning movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In military tactics, a turning movement involves an attacker's forces reaching the rear of a defender's forces, separating the defender from their principal defensive positions and threatening to place them in a pocket. The defender must then abandon these positions.
Examples
- Battle of Ulm
- Battle of Lake Trasimene
- Peninsula Campaign
- Sherman's March to the Sea (American Civil War)
