diamond formation
Four-point tactical shape
Diamond formation is a tactical arrangement where four elements position themselves in a diamond shape—one at front, one at rear, and two flanking the sides.
Military units use it for movement and defense, sports teams for strategic positioning on the field, and aircraft for ceremonial flyovers: The jets passed overhead in tight diamond formation.
