Interesting idea.

This is an excellent suggestion! I hope to see it in game!
I like it. It would save time and effort on the players part in organising columns and formations. Even allowing the Officer to move the unit as a whole!

Shame, for clan battles this would be ideal getting to the action. The OP said the players would choose or 'allow' the Officer to grab them giving the player the choice and control.

Or just making it easier for players to move as a unit to battlefront 'where the action is'.
Look, I'm happy as is, I'm just exploring ideas...Ive had experience before with devs and forum members getting hot under the collar at my suggestions, im just thinking out loud.

I dont like the term 'locked', players should and could be allowed to opt in or out!
I'm surprised however at the horror from some members. Which scenario would you prefer visually, the current 'rag tag' lines of either quick time or charging soldiers desperate to form some sort of column, or the well drilled company marching towards the guns?
For me its not a case of semiautonomous AI, its more a case of immersion and ease of play. Its no different in reality to a group of players in ARMA3 jumping into a truck 'driven by someone else' and then disembarking at the front. Exploring the idea of a player chosen column group is a valid one in my humble opinion.
