Currently Zeus may not control the positioning of individual group members, they always prioritize formation over everything when not engaged. Placing only individual soldiers everywhere is tedious and makes squad composition management difficult. Also the group tab on the left side of the screen fills rapidly from all individual unit spam thus rendering it pretty much useless when it comes to unit order management.
Possible fixes: Prioritize individual orders from Zeus over formation orders, give the option of having squads without any determined formations.
