	===~~City~~===		===Urban===

	For ~~cities~~, most common formations are column or a staggered column depending. Mostly it will be column because of keeping sectors watched and for making crossing roads and open lanes easier and safer. These are used when taking contact from a flank is more likely. It leaves the front and rear slightly weaker but ensures that you cant get hit from the sides. The safest way is to keep your FT against a wall so 1 out of 4 directions are always safe... mostly.

	===Roads===		===Roads===

	For roads or long paths, You will almost always want to run a staggered column, unless you have your other FT running side-by-side with you in which case it will be just a column. Staggered gives both sides a close to equal amount of firepower and visibility as the team moves and keeps the spread apart in case of very close contact.
