troop formation

The name originates from the ancient practice of military mining, where tunnels were dug under enemy fortifications or troop formations by sappers.

The Tet Offensive of 1968 gave the squadron a chance to fight the enemy's troop formations in open combat.

Therefore, a fortification located on an important road would be able to slow or stop a large troop formation.

The second division of the War Ministry dealt with general army matters: troop formations, replacements and turnover, housing, military exercises, and mobilization.

They were wielded in either single combat or in large troop formations.

After his remarks, Mr. Baker climbed down from the podium and shook the hands of the officers standing in front of each troop formation.

Before the mechanization of troop formations, most rear guard tactics originally contemplated the use of cavalry forces.

Both figures pale in comparison to the armies that would be fielded in the early 19th century, where troop formations approached or exceeded 100,000 men.

When the Spring and Autumn period began, more attention was paid to troop formations according to the type of battle.

Both troop formations and the flexibility of the chariot subsequently underwent major developments with infantry placing a much larger role in combat.
