| Creates a unit (person) of the given type (type is a name of a subclass of [[CfgVehicles]]) and makes it a member of the given group. If the markers array contains several marker names, the position of a random one is used. Otherwise, the given position is used. The unit is placed inside a circle with this position as its center and placement as its radius.
 
Special properties can be: "NONE" and "FORM" (also "CAN_COLLIDE" in Arma 3).  |= Description

Although this command takes a group as an argument, you need to use the [[join]] command if you want the created units to perform actions such as [[move]].  For example:
<code> [[comment]] "Create a new soldier within 100m of the player and cause them to run towards the player" ;
_grp = [[createGroup]] [[west]];
unit = _grp [[createUnit]] ["SoldierWB", [[position]] [[player]], [], 100, "FORM"] ; 
[unit] [[join]] _grp ;
unit [[move]] [[position]] [[player]] ;
</code>
However, some commands such as [[setUnitPos]] only work if run before the [[join]].

Comment above about 'an additional join required' is no longer true for Operation Arrowhead.
