&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;In SCA heavy weapons combat, the most common formation called the shield wall.  This can be as simple as having everyone with a shield make a line, shoulder to shoulder.  Everyone else gets behind them.  Some commanders/units will add order to the [[back field]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Reserve unit: A group of fighters held behind the shield wall in case a problem or opportunity develops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Flanking unit: A group of fighters whose assigned task is the execute a Flank Right/Left independent of the main group&amp;#039;s motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Columns of 2/3/4: The unit forms into 2/3/4 lines for marching with no expectation of attack (because the battle hasn&amp;#039;t started yet and you&amp;#039;re all trying to get through a small gate.)&lt;br /&gt;
