English term or phrase: box formation

La frase:
"The idea that heavy armament and box formations would be enough to protect the formations proved to be a deadly mistake."

Chiedo se box formation abbia una traduzione specifica o se si intenda genericamente una "formazione compatta", oppure in questo caso anche il "volo in formazione".
Grazie ancora.

formazione quadrata

Explanation:
Si parla di "formazione quadrata" o " formazione a scatola " nelle varie tecniche di difesa, per es della scorta a piedi (Vedi il link sotto). Ora assumendo che nel tuo caso non si tratti di velivoli, nel qual caso non tenere conto della mia proposta, credo che potresti utilizzare "formazione quadrata". Il significato alla fine sì, è quello di formazione compatta come dici tu. Spero di esserti stata d'aiuto!

Example sentence(s):

"Ogni unità è in formazione quadrata ed insieme sono disposte in una formazione poligonare." Qui si parla di come sono schierati i guerrieri di Terracotta.http://www.rmhb.com.cn/chpic/htdocs/rmhb/itlia/200402/7-1.htm
