At the beginning of the US Civil War the so-called Zouave Rush was a battlefield tactic. Instead of advancing in a close line, stopping to fire from time to time, soldiers charged in loose order at a fast pace. They would then fall flat to the ground, making the defensive enemy forces unable to shoot them with any degree of accuracy. It was named after a French soldier in the French war in Algeria in 1831.
