What is the only squad formation that cannot be accomplished by a fire team?

The only squad formation that cannot be accomplished by a fire team is the Squad Veer. This formation is specifically designed for the entire squad, allowing for lateral movement and repositioning on the battlefield while maintaining an advantageous firing position.

In a Squad Veer, the squad moves with half of its members veering to one side while maintaining the other half in a more secure position. This ensures that the squad can cover a wider area and adapt to threats from different directions. Fire teams, typically made up of smaller groups of Marines, do not possess the numbers or the operational structure necessary for this specific formation; they are primarily designed for more compact formations, such as a Line or Wedge, which are suitable for smaller, more tactical movements.

Meanwhile, Line, Column, and Wedge formations can be effectively executed by a fire team, as these formations facilitate movement and engagement in more straightforward tactical scenarios. Fire teams can align in a line for direct engagement, stack in a column for movement and flexibility in terrain, or adopt a wedge formation for both offensive and defensive operations.
