| A military column is a formation of that can be applied to individual soldiers marching together in one or more files in which the file is significantly longer than the width of ranks in the formation. It is also applied to vehicles and naval vessels so positioned for tactical reasons, or during road movement.
Tactical formation columnColumn formation has been used since ancient times. It has the advantage of being easier to manuver than other formations in that it permits an army to follow the form of a road, thus increasing its movement speed. However, column formations are very vulnerable to frontal and flank attack | |
