	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Flying wedge
		The flying wedge formation is used ceremonially by cadets at the United States Air Force Academy during the annual graduation parade, when the soon-to-be commissioned first-class cadets (seniors) leave the Cadet Wing.
		The inverted wedge is a military formation resembling an inverted V or triangle, and is sometimes known as a V-formation.
		Identical in concept to the military formation, the flying wedge was known for being brutally effective, but also resulting in a high rate of injury on both sides.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Phalanx formation
		A phalanx (plural phalanxes or phalanges) is a rectangular mass military formation, usually composed entirely of heavy infantry armed with spears, pikes, or similar weapons.
		While the phalanx formation was formidable and nearly indestructible from the front, the formation would find it difficult to protect its own flanks and rear because it was a relatively slow-moving formation and once engaged it could not easily disengage or redeploy itself to face a threat from those directions.
		The phalanx never quite died out; the Roman legionaries at the time of Caesar and Arrian were known to have defended against (and even attacked) cavalry by using their pila as thrusting spears instead of thrown javelins.

	FlightSim.Com Review: Formation Flying
		Formation flying is one of aviation's greatest challenges, and the ability to do it with precision and style is one of the things that sets certain aviators apart.
		Formating isn't normally all that hard, but it does take a lot of practice and a great deal of concentration.
		Every move he makes must be introduced gradually - the military teams actually talk their way through the show, with the leader announcing on the radio every move of the stick.

	Miscellaneous Axis Military Formations of WWII.
		The Cossack formation was not idle and it did perform numerous venturesome raids behind Soviet lines where it preoccupied itself with extermination of Stalinist commissars and collection of their tongues as "war trophies"; it was also involved in several skirmishes with Soviet cavalry detachments.
		Following its formation (in the summer of 1943), the 1-st Cossack Division was composed of seven regiments (two regiments of Don Cossacks, two regiments of Kuban Cossacks, one regiment of Terek Cossacks, one regiment of Siberian Cossacks, and one mixed reserve regiment).
		The most famous such formation was the 14-th Waffen-SS Infantry Division "Galizien" ("Halyczyna" in Ukrainian, at the beginning it was known as the Galician Police Division), which contained numerous members of both OUN and UPA, and was co-founded by both organizations.

		Russian military reform consisted of a state-facilitated re arrangement of gentry and peasant classes into new-formation regiments organized along western lines that relied on the expertise of mercenary officers to train and command the new regiments.
		European military technology was coveted, stolen, borrowed, adopted, and used against the Europeans and loca ls alike by the indigenous populations.
		Often these experts were religio us or political renegades, migrants forced into military service, captives and their children or increasingly, as the 16th and 17th centuries progressed, professional officers whose careers were generated in the cauldrons of war during that era.

	PINR - Proposed Russian Military Deployment in Iraq Fraught with Consequences
		Even as Russian forces brought overwhelming military superiority to bear on the rebels, no clear end is in sight for this war that is straining Russia's patience and is a constant source of embarrassment for the government.
		As the military exercises discussed earlier have shown, Russia is capable of deploying and maintaining a limited military force -- not the 40,000 troops discussed in previous months -- in order to properly manage its combat operations.
		The proposed military deployment is truly an untested territory for the Russian armed forces that are currently taxed to the limit by lack of funds and necessary reforms, as well as by the war in Chechnya.

		Since the U.S. military's formation, gay soldiers and service members have served this country with honor, integrity, and courage despite the fact that their sexuality could get them discharged, jailed, or even murdered.
		The military's antigay history began in 1778, with the dismissal of Lt. Gotthold Frederick Enslin after he was caught in a same-sex tryst with another soldier.
		The majority of discharges are young, between 18-25, many of whom turned to the military for educational and career opportunities, not to mention escape from closed-minded small towns, the inner city, or repressive family situations.

		That the 926 servicemembers who graduated from Tuskegee succeeded at a time when racist attitudes were officially sanctioned in the military is a testament to the men's extraordinary determination to succeed as pilots, which by its nature is one of the most academically and psychologically challenging areas of military service.

	War on Terrorism - Eye on Iraq - The Iraqi Forces: Large, but Troubled (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Significant difficulties include severe shortages of spare parts, resulting from the UN embargo, shortage of numbers, as only half Iraq’s divisions are even at 80 percent strength, maintenance difficulties with its large, varied fleet of armored vehicles, and poor ability to use both its tanks and its artillery.
		A totally separate armed service, it was formed first as a brigade-sized formation to protect the Presidential Palace in Baghdad, and due to successes in the field against the Iranians during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War, and the ineptness of regular Army heavy forces at complex armored operations it was expanded greatly.
		Both IISS’s Military Balance 2001-02 and Cordesman’s The Gulf in Transition (Notes 2 and 3) agree broadly on the first figure; the second figure is from Sean Boyle, “Iraq retains ability to quell revolts”, Jane’s Intelligence Review, January 2002, pp.42-44.

	What the Military Shouldn't Preach
		As the military wrestles with the proper place of religion in its ranks it is important to remember that the freedom of the Stars and Stripes applies to everyone -- not just those who believe what the majority of the United States believes.
		If a solemn occasion is appropriate at a military ceremony, implement a moment of silence, as we do at every public school in our nation.
		We ask members of our military to give up many of their freedoms when they serve -- their personal freedom of religion should not be one of them.

		Rather, the intent is to focus on areas that may give the novice formation pilot the most trouble, and on the fundamental dynamics of formation flight.
		Important topics such as power management, formation configuration changes, basic hand signals, practice formation exercises, and much more generally are left to the more appropriate realm of ground and air instruction with a competent formation instructor.
		There are a few aspects of “traditional” military formation flight, however, that I believe require some modifications to better match the operational world of the civilian pilot.

	More on Formation Flying
		The quickest ways to get in trouble in a formation are by not knowing what the flight profile will be, not understanding what is expected of you by the leader, and not knowing what to expect from the leader.
		In close formation position, use the rudders to keep your fuselage aligned with lead's, and use the ailerons to maintain in/out position.
		Whenever a formation flight is planned, be sure to allow time for a thorough debrief if you are serious about learning how to do it right.
