    Considerations to determine the formation type

    While the Formation Guide is very clear on the types of formations and how to fly them, I am missing the basics on when to use each formation type. Is there by any chance a document going into the considerations like expected threat types, weather, floor/ceiling rules, etc. that determine the formation flown? For trainee pilot it might be as simple as flying the formation as fragged but during mission planning I would assume quite some aspects to come into consideration.

    A while ago I read that the 476th has contracts in use, is it written in there?

    Those things are expanded upon in some of the internal docs and during training etc. The current publicly available formation guide is pretty old and outdated really now.
