Tank Formations

Tank formations are strategic arrangements of armored vehicles during battle to maximize their effectiveness and protection. Different formations—such as line, column, wedge, or echelon—serve specific purposes like offensive strikes, defense, or maneuvering. For example, a line formation allows broad coverage with firepower, while a wedge concentrates force for breakthrough. Commanders choose formations based on terrain, enemy position, and mission goals to enhance coordination, control, and survivability of the units involved.
