The flank refers to the end of the line. The right flank is the far right side of the lines as you are facing the enemy. Flanking the Enemy is to go around the ends of their lines. Example: The 138th New York Volunteer Infantry was on the right flank on Culp's Hill on July 3rd at Gettysburg. If the Confederacy had been able to go around that unit, they would have been able to destroy the Federal Forces and the entire Civil War could have ended up differently. A Right Flank is also a maneuver in military drill. The entire unit pivots to the right on command, changing the direction of movement 90 degrees. If a BLUE army is directly engaging the RED army, then the Right Flank of the BLUE Army will align with the Left Flank of the BLUE army.
