information, in formation

Information or information ( one word ) means knowledge, data, or news--
We need some information about renting a truck.
The internet makes finding information easy.

In formation or in formation ( two words ) describes a military unit lined up by rank and file, or in rows, columns, or squares--
They were lined up in formation before the general arrived.
The colonel ordered the troops to remain in formation during the ceremony.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"The major is looking for information on the proper way to have the regiment march in formation."
