It's a Detachment that has various Formations that slot into it instead of wide open Battlefield Roles. You take 1-2 Demi-Company Formations, one or more of the Auxiliary Formations, and up to three of the Command options. Each of them gets both the benefits for their individual Formation and the Gladius as a whole. All the "full" Dexes since Necrons at the start of the year have had a Detachment like this.

There's no such thing as "supposed to," and what you want doesn't matter. All that matters is what happened.

Thought this was going to be an army joke.

It's easy to miss. If you have the codex, look at the section right before the armory. It's listed as the army composition. If you just look at the end of the dataslates and look at the formations, you won't see it.

You are the Genestealer that nobody likes and shoos you away because the Hive doesn't want to reabsorb you.
