Flanking Maneuvers

Flanking maneuvers refer to military strategies where one force tries to attack the side or rear of an enemy position rather than confronting them head-on. This tactic aims to surprise the enemy, exploit weaknesses, and gain a tactical advantage. By moving around the opponent, forces can disrupt their formations, create confusion, and increase the chances of victory. In broader contexts, flanking maneuvers can also apply to competitive situations, such as business or sports, where one party seeks to outmaneuver competitors by approaching from an unexpected angle.
