note
-
At the time of their writing, Wong et al. could not have known that there would be a resurgence of combat in Iraq almost a year after their report was completed. Still, with the benefit of hindsight (in spring 2005), we can raise the possibility that task cohesion is indeed higher among Islamic insurgents in Fallujah than among conventional Iraqi armed forces, posing greater difficulties for coalition forces.

World war II: The shadows lengthen

Summer

Cited in Richard D. Trefry, "World War II: The Shadows Lengthen," Parameters 28 (Summer 1998): 129-36. Interestingly, Ambrose goes on to cite the importance of task cohesion: "Civil War soldiers were accustomed to using words like duty, honor, cause, and country. The GIs didn't like to talk about country or flag and were embarrassed by patriotic bombast. . . . Nevertheless, as much as the Civil War soldiers, the GIs believed in their cause. They knew they were fighting for decency and democracy and they were proud of it and motivated by it. They just didn't want to talk or write about it."
