A line of marching men in single file "Can" be called a column. But to be more accurate, two or more single file lines of men marching side by side WOULD be a column of men. The command would be, "... column of two's...March!" Said another way: If there is a line of people lined up to see a movie at the theater and it's only one line, that normally wouldn't be called a column. But if the Theater manager came out and said to the people waiting in line, "Ok folks, if you could, please form TWO lines starting here (pointing), that way we'll get you in the theater alot quicker..." That theater supervisor just created a column of people.
