From the latest bungie posting:
Today, I swear I saw some Grunts do a classic pincer-movement to trap me in a narrow canyon.

So what do you guys think is a classic pincer-movement?

I think its when two sides converge together on the enemy. So the grunts would both be closing in on the cheif.

A Pinver Manuver, is like a better coordinated 'Horse-Shoe Ambush'

it is when a force moving forward, is confronted by an enemy in a V shape. The V being the enemy moving around the I moving enemy

I
V

The "I" Is moving toward the point in the "V", there-by surrounding the enemy. However he is in a canyon. So it would be like:

I i I
V

Not quite, in the Pincer, you leave the enemy's direct 'south' avalible for retreat. Otherwise, they may fight more ferociously. Although you attack their flanks in such a way that, they are litterally confronted by contacts on all sides.
