Introduction to formations
Formations are a set way of positioning members of an element during combat. These formations are used for several key reasons:
- Command and control: They allow leaders to effectively manage and direct their units, ensuring clear communication and efficient execution of orders.
- Mutual support and security: Soldiers in these formations can cover each other, provide overlapping fields of fire, and maintain situational awareness, enhancing their overall survivability and effectiveness.
- Team cohesion: By having a standard for where everyone should be, it is easier to maintain cohesion as an element
