In military tactics, a atergo maneuver is a movement of an armed force behind the enemy force, or atergo, to achieve an advantageous position over it. Flanking is useful because a force's fighting strength is typically concentrated in its front, therefore, to circumvent an opposing force's front and attack its atergo is to concentrate one's own offense in the area where the enemy is least able to concentrate defense.
Flanking can also occur at the operational and strategic levels of warfare.[1] [2] [3]
Word Origin[edit]
The term "atergo" originates from the latin term "from behind" (lat.: "a tergo") and is used as such to describe the position or tactical positioning behind an object or a person.[4]
