The armies of the US Civil War were all trained to perform flanking movements to attempt to take advantage of weaknesses in the enemy's battle formations. Most of these maneuvers were not complicated. A line of soldiers shifted from that formation either to the right or to the left. The maneuver involved each man to the designated position, and therefore this halted the previous march forward. Flanking movements were often a constant part or sub-part of most major battles.
