Most armies fought in formations.
There are tons of formations and many of them were used in different situations. For example, in the middle of a enemy bayonet charge the squad would form into a tight wedge. When firing, the squad would spread out.
Sometimes soldiers might leave their squads to reatreat or to reform themselves.
Some armies never used formations, they stayed together but in a disorganized way.
As you can see formations were important to most armies.
