Destruction From Within

Destruction within teams often arises from interpersonal conflicts rather than external pressures. Training exercises lead to the identification of weaknesses in communication and relationships among team members. For instance, when a platoon fails during a mission, it is typically due to dysfunctional dynamics, such as antagonism between the officer in charge and other leaders, rather than challenges posed by the environment or the enemy. When team members are not united, external adversities can catalyze internal conflicts, leading to disarray and failure.
