So I was testing out a new mod I installed callled ancient warfare and I got a great idea from it,

I was spawning npc soldiers with spawn eggs when I noticed they would stay on the spot until they attacked something, then they would go back to the exact spot. I tested this out and I could create 'formations' without much effort and without the coder of the mod having to do much either.

I thought of a similar mechanic that the mod can use...

When buying units you could choose to get them as an egg or possibly a symbol for their unit for aesthetics. You would then place the unit where you want its 'post' to be and if you blow a 'formation' horn (the only horn in this suggestion) it would go back to where you placed it originally and fire on anything in site but stay on site and if knocked off it would try to get back on. You would not be able to place more then one unit post on each block. And thats about it. Images below showing the formations from the other mod.
