&pageText=The purpose of the squad line as an offensive formation is to push or drive crowds straight back across an open area or up a city street. As a defensive formation, it is used to hold a rioting group in place or to deny them access to restricted streets or areas. The command for having a squad form in a line formation is "Squad as skirmishers, move."& &label1=Face the squad& &label2=Point to the position& &label3=Take your position& &enableBtns=more& &moreInfo=In crowd control formations, squad leaders and their assistants take positions where they can best direct and control their squads. For diamond and circle formations, they place themselves in the center of the formation. For all other formations, they place themselves at the rear of the unit. However, these are only guidelines. The leaders can adjust their position with respect to their unit as they see fit.&
