placing repetitive items on a map (created by multiple static objects)

[Red Dog]

I am trying to group a series of static objects (training range) to create an item that can be placed multiple times on the map - at different location

So I placed a dozen static and wanted to create a template out of it, just like the SAM templates available. But only 1 static creates the template I'm saving which kinda negates what I'm trying to do

I can select all statics at once, but I can't duplicate them, move them or save them. 

Is there a way that eludes me to do that? 

I'm aware of the whole map templates - and I use that -  but this is not working as I want the same objects to be placed multiple times on the map at different location.

Creating my first objects took a while because I took long time to finely align statics objects with one another at specific distances. 
The purpose obviously is to avoid going through the same process to place the same type of grouped static at another location on the map - especially since rotating it to suitable heading makes the aligning even more tedious

Thanks for any hints you may provide

Once you have selected all statics with "Left Shift" + left click on each, use "Left Ctrl" + "C", then left click somewhere on the map where you want to paste, and use "Left Ctrl" + "V". Repeat "Left Ctrl" + "V" everywhere you need to paste as much template you want in few seconds.

Merci

sorry I so missed the obvious. 
It's already something indeed, but it remains tedious to rotate the new item to fit the local terrain
Something like the ability to create custom "object templates" would be great

But that will do for now
