When did an army formation called the phalanx defeat a Roman legion?
The phalanx was a tight square formation of heavy infantrymen (hoplites) invented by the Greeks. It was adopted by the Roman army in the 6th century BC and they used it until they were defeated by the Samnites who used a different military formation, the maniple, in 321 BC. At that point the Romans adopted the mainipular formation of the Samnites. This formation was used to fight the Pyrrhic War v(280-275 BC) against Pyrrhus the king of Epirus in Greece who wanted to take over southern Italy and used the phalanx. The two sides fought three battles and Pyrrhus was the first two. The use of a larger cavalry and of war elephants (for the first time in Italy) played an improtant part in these victories. However, Pyrrhus suffered high levels of heavy causualties which made it impossible for him to win the war. This led to the term Pyrrhic victory, which refers to a victory which comes at such a devastating cost which it amounts to a defeat. By the end of the war he lost 2/3 of his army. The Romans won the final battle because they learnt how to deal with elephants.
What was the purpose of the infantry battle formation called the echelon formation?
The echelon formation was designed to protect any exposed flanks against an enemy attack and to more effectively outflank an opposing enemy line. It consisted of units that were separated from the main battle line. This formation was used by the Union at the Battle of Chickamauga and helped to decrease Federal losses at that battle. Chickamaugua was a much needed Confederate victory in September of 1863, based on Lee's loss at Gettysburg in July of 1863.
