A formation is an organizational grouping of either units (for example a battalion of infantry or a regiment of armour, artillery, or engineers) or of smaller formations. A formation may be an administrative one - for example Land Force Western Area, or a tactical one; for example 4 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group.
The officer commanding a formation is known as the "Commander."
