Movement and Maneuver

Movement and maneuver refer to the strategic actions military units take to position themselves effectively on the battlefield. Movement involves relocating forces to advantageous locations, such as advancing, retreating, or flank ing an enemy. Maneuver is the skillful planning and execution of these movements to gain a tactical advantage—like outflanking opponents or avoiding their fire. Together, they help military units achieve their objectives efficiently, maintain flexibility, and respond to changing situations quickly. Effective movement and maneuvering require coordination, timing, and understanding of the terrain and enemy actions.
