Military formation

Military formation is the organized arrangement of soldiers during training, drills, or combat to maximize efficiency, safety, and effectiveness. It involves positioning individuals systematically—such as in rows, columns, or specific patterns—based on the mission and terrain. Formations facilitate communication, command, and coordination, allowing units to move smoothly and respond quickly. Different types of formations serve various purposes, like advancing in a line or defending in a circle. The structure ensures command control, enhances collective strength, and optimizes tactical advantage in diverse operational scenarios.
