How do I make my units not go inside each other during similar destinations?

I'm making an RTS in DarkGDK for a group project in my Modeling and Simulations class. However, I have come across a slightly large snag... When units are given the same destination, they go inside each other. What we want to do is when they are giving similar destinations, there is a minimum distance between each one of them while moving, and when they reach the destination. just like in an RTS.


I don't have any problem code, so I'll attach the whole program (I hope that's not a problem)

You could define one as the 'group captain' when the move order is given and calculate all the other soldiers positions as an offset from the captain.

When moving them, position the captain at the required position and then position the rest of them at the offsets previously calculated.
