In the context of formations, maximizing means?

• A. Maintaining The Current Formation Sizes
• B. Splitting Formations Into Smaller Groups
• C. Combining Formations To Reach The Maximum Allowed Size, Which Is 13
• D. Ignoring Formation Sizes

Answer: (C)

Maximizing in formations means filling a formation to the largest size permitted by the rules, by combining smaller groups until you reach that limit. In this context, the maximum is 13, so the goal is to bring units together to form a single formation of 13. This setup makes command and control clearer—leaders can address everyone at once, maintain uniform spacing and timing, and keep accountability easily trackable. Keeping the current sizes or splitting into smaller groups would create more formations and add unnecessary manage­ment overhead, while not reaching the maximum size reduces efficiency and cohesion. So, combining formations to reach the maximum allowed size of 13 is what maximizing means here.
