I created three functions in a function library in Unreal Engine for:

Infinite-sized single line formation
Infinite-sized box formation
Infinite-sized triple infantry column

At the moment I just use a key for each formation, and the soldiers will get a move order to their assigned position in it. I was somewhat inspired by Cossacks 1, having remembered that that game's formations being a bit like this.
