#REDIRECT[[Formation]]
In SCA heavy weapons combat, the most common formation is 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]].

;Reserve unit: A group of fighters held behind the shield wall in case a problem or opportunity develops.

;Flanking unit: A group of fighters whose assigned task is the execute a Flank Right/Left independent of the main group's motion.

;Columns of 2/3/4: The unit forms into 2/3/4 lines for marching with no expectation of attack (because the battle hasn't started yet and you're all trying to get through a small gate.)
