As it says in the title, is the Strike Force Command a formation or some sort of different thing? Say, for example, I wanted to run a CAD with a LoW, such as a Titan or a Thunderhawk, could I run the Strike Force Command with Marneas Calgar as well?

The only Formations are those with a Datasheet in the back of the book with the other Formations. So, no such luck for that one.

Oh well. It isn't something that affects me, was just curious.

Where are the rules for a strike force command(original responder is dead wrong about the only formations being in the back of the book, any formation from any book is valid; example: the sw formation from the boxed set vs orks is a sw formation not in the sw book. The formations for ultramarines in the ww exclusive campaign are also viable and not in the back of the book)

The original responder is correct, the Strike Force command is an optional addition to the Space marine decurion formation (In the SM Codex) however isnt a formation in its own right. It is permissable within the large spanning formation but cannot be taken on its own outside of that,

Considering the topic is a set of units from the new Marine Codex I kept the answer to the one book being discussed. There's no need to pile on irrelevant information when someone asks a simple question. I'm not going to talk about Tyranid Skyblight when someone asks any question about Formations ever. Too many random tangents just confuses people that want something short, simple and to the point. Keep it simple and answer a question, done.
