What did the military term called the center of gravity mean?
ChuckSiata
The center of gravity military term was coined by 19th century military expert Karl von Clausewitz. Clausewitz has much to say about the term he originated to describe war strategies. As a brief definition the term means that within an enemy is the source of its strength. The goal of an attacking force is to destroy this center of gravity as a method to bring the end of a war to a decisive conclusion.As an aside, while not speaking in such terms, US President Lincoln and US General George B. McClellan believed that the capture Richmond would end the rebellion. They were certain that the fall of the Confederate capital was essential. Without using the the term, both men were speaking about Richmond as a center of gravity.

Well, if you mean a center forward, they try to shoot goals, like a midfield. But, unlike midfielders, forwards don't go back to help the defenders, unless there is a pk. They usually stay above the halfway line. However, when a pk is called, the center forward stays at the halfway line.
