This may be really useful, even more when we're talking about military squads. It would be nice to have some sort of formation system (like Total War or other RTS style games) where we can select the squad members and drag and drop a formation, then they move onto their position and hold it.

This can be extremely useful when combining melee infantry with ranged infantry, and if there's some type of cavalry on Kenshi 2, even more.

Also, we could have a menu to select different presets of formations depending on the situation. I've faced situations of big and complex battles where I had to micromanagement every single soldier of mine, put them one by one in the place and then adjust the crossbowmen, and at the end this results in chaos and time-loss. I could already have my men ready on their spots while the enemy is charging, but no, I have to move them one by one.

It would be more easy if you could just select your whole squad, choose a formation pattern and drag and drop the move order in the battlefield, and then they all move at the same time each one to his position.

Would love to see this in Kenshi 2. The less micromanaging the better

It would be nice if you could also set up custom formations by using a grid system or something.
