This article is about the military unit. There is also an article on geological formations or stratum.

A formation is a grouping of military units such as a Brigade, Division, Corps, Army or Army group. Technically, formations and units are different entities (a unit being a homogeneous organisation, such as a battalion, instead of a collection of separate organisations), but the terms are often used interchangeably.
