Retreat is played during the lowering of the colors(flag). TAPS(Lights Out) is not.
The phrase "retreat hell!" was first used in WW1 by USMC Capt. Lloyd Williams. When asked to retreat he sent back a message saying "Retreat? Hell just got here." The particular phrase "Retreat, Hell! We're attacking in a different direction was used sarcastically during the Korean War, when an American USMC General O.P. Smith was questioned why he appeared to be withdrawing, during the Chosin Reservoir, to the best of my knowledge. Marines don't retreat. "Retreat, hell! We're attacking in a different direction!"
Flag to Flag happened in 1999.
If you are referring to withdraw from the Union, the term is "secede".

Retreat is played at 4:30 PM or 5 PM on some military bases. Military courtesy for service members outdoors is to pause when retreat is sounded, and to stand at attention and face the flag or the direction of the music. If the flag is visible, salute and hold until the anthem is concluded.

The Boy Scouts, numerous Camps- and the Army employ two distinct Bugle Flag Calls- they are instrumental. Known as the Assembly Flag Call and the retreat Flag Call. no lyrics- but irreverent dubs have linked the phrase ( not the story or movie) Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang- to the latter piece. I always thought it was something of a booby prize- so many good patriotic songs- and tin horn ( chitty chitty bang bang- doo doo doot do do- three times. Oddly the Retreat call was livelier than the presentation or assembly (Flag Call).
