		The focus for our military identity has tended to be the branch (with its insignia), special training (airborne or ranger tabs, green or red berets), the division (with its distinctive patch), and the battalion (with its unit flag and battle streamers).
		Unit identity (or patriotism, or other abstract ideals) is like concrete: it keeps its shape but shatters easily under the pressure and pounding of combat.
		When too many of the old unit members are lost in too short a time, the unit may either fail catastrophically, lose many veterans as battle fatigue casualties, or lose the unit esprit and become totally concerned only with self and buddy survival.

	Leadership (VIII) 7 Irrelevant Reasons Why COHORT Failed …or Why the Army Hates Unit Cohesion, November 10, 1998
		The idea of COHORT was to develop vertical and horizontal cohesion in units by permitting soldiers and leaders to do their training with the same company or battalion for three years.
		Although unit cohesion is perhaps the most important issue facing any military force, you will not find senior officials in the Pentagon or Congress or poohbahs in the think tanks discussing it nearly as much as much as hair-brained technological fantasies, like the Revolution in Military Affairs.
		One must immerse oneself in the study of military history, tactics, and the operational art, and these activities are often viewed as irrelevant in a budget-driven Pentagon where bureaucrats and milcrats believe technological revolutions render the lessons of history doubtful.

	The Grammarphobia Blog: Cohort in crime?
		A: One contemporary phrase that bothers me is "cohort in crime." I maintain that "cohort" is a Latin noun describing a Roman military unit of 300 to 600 men, rather than a single individual who is an associate of a criminal.
		The first definition for "cohort" in The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language is a group or band of people, and the second definition is a companion or an associate.
		To make a long story short, it's not surprising that "cohort in crime" and "companion in crime" should be used interchangeably in modern times.

		Each century, cohort, and legion had its own standard; during battle and other activities, these were held by officers called standardbearers (general term signifer) who were marked out from other soldiers by the animal-head skins they wore on their heads, which can be clearly seen on this relief from Trajan's column.
		Each military campaign was assigned one general (dux), though there was not a single commander-in-chief until imperial times because a number of campaigns could be conducted simultaneously in different geographic areas.
