Unit cohesion in the United States military it has been the subject of dispute and political debate since World War II as the United States military has expanded the categories of citizens it accepts as servicemembers. Unit cohesion is a military concept, defined by one former United States Chief of staff in the early 1980s as "the bonding together of soldiers in such a way as to sustain their will and commitment to each other, the unit, and mission accomplishment, despite combat or mission stress".〔"Morale and Cohesion in Military Psychiatry, Fred Manning, (p.4 ) in ''Military Psychiatry: Preparing in Peace for War'', ISBN 0160591325; Manning cites Meyer, EC, "The unit", ''Defense'', 1982;82(February):1-9 〕 The concept lacks a consensus definition among military analysts, sociologists, and psychologists.〔Brian Palmer (2010), ("Pentagon Sees Little Risk in Allowing Gay Men and Women to Serve Openly" ) ''Slate'', Dec. 1, 2010〕 ==Factors affecting unit cohesion== has identified some factors in unit cohesion: *the units (squad, platoon, or company level) are small enough that key NCOs (E5-E9) can influence others,〔 *the Unit Manning System emphasizes the stability of units and their families at the brigade level, as structured in Army Force Generation ARFORGEN, rather than the Individual Replacement System in use since before the Vietnam era〔 *in the WWII and Korean War eras, once a soldier was wounded or separated from his unit, there was little chance of returning to his unit〔 and *the Stop Loss pay provision of $500 per month was instituted to encourage personnel to remain with their units during combat deployments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Unit cohesion in the United States military」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
