Cohesion: The Vital Ingredient for Successful Army Units

Abstract

Cohesion: The Vital Ingredient for Successful Army Units is an extremely well researched and written essay. It explores, in detail, the concept of cohesion and its impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of military units. In the introductory chapter, cohesion is defined through the use of extracts from several authors and examples from contemporary battles. After having laid a framework, the author in subsequent chapters, vivitly illustrated the application of cohesion to modern fighting forces, both in peace and war time setting. Sources, both within the military and civilian academicians are balanced throughout to produce an easy reading document which captures and holds the attention of the reader. The writing style, informal and without wasted words, compliments the comprehensive research.
