It is a military tactic where the attack is focused on the front of the enemy forces. This type of assault typically is the least favored for the offensive army since the defensive army is most likely entrenched and/or set and ready for the assault. It is also usually combined with other tactics like rear assault and flanking. Commanders usually try to flank the enemy by going around the front of their lines and hitting them where they are weaker. A surprise tactic comonly used is to employ a frontal assault while another force attempts to flank the enemy and engage them on their flank or their rear.
