mil., logist.	A military force suited by its size and composition for employment at the operational or strategic levels of war, in which a number of tactical formations or smaller major formations are brought together under one command. Major formations usually conduct major operations, as distinct from tactical formations and units which engage in battle at tactical level. The composition of a major formation is not, as a rule, fixed and depends on the operational situation and the objectives. Such formations may be strategic, operational/strategic, operational/strategic and territorial, purely operational, operational and territorial or operational/tactical and territorial in nature. They are led by a commander or a commander-in-chief. (UKR/NATO)
