Swivel in

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pivoting is the movement of a military division in order to transition from an open column to the line .

The swinging is in contrast to pivoting . If the line is to be produced in the same order as it was before it was swiveled away, a column swiveling to the right must swivel in to the left and vice versa.
