There is less an army than components (navy, army or air force), and these divisions are also found at lower levels. In this age of interoperability, the need for joint and combined forces has never been more essential. Sound reflection on how to maintain overall cohesion is not simply a matter of manoeuvring human resources. However, for the author, it is a question of examining what makes armed forces and units cohesive, and how this can be developed.
