   My initial line of thought was that moving into a formation was a one 
shot deal, and not permanent, but sure, why not have permanent 
formations!  If formations are permanent, I think you should be able to 
choose how strictly the troops stay in formation:  Footman squads should 
be relatively free to attack nearby enemies, but it is important for 
archer squads to keep formation.  Permanent formations could be difficult 
to implement effectively though.  What do you think Blizzard?
   How about multiple level of organisation?  Several units make a squad, 
several squads make a platoon, several platoons make a company, etc etc.
