Infantry formation (7)

I believe the answer is:

phalanx

(Other definitions for phalanx that I've seen before include "Ancient Greek battle formation" , "Compact infantry mass; finger bone" , "Closely ranked crowd of people" , "Body of troops in close formation" , "Solid body of men" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
