Book excerpt: This report describes the relationships between measures of cohesion obtained on nine U.S. Army light infantry platoons at home station and the subsequent performance of those platoons at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC). The JRTC performance was measured by observer/controllers using tank evaluation and observation checklists and also by company commanders using summary ratings. When outlier cases were controlled, bonding among leaders, soldiers, and between leaders and their soldiers was strong and correlated significantly with platoon performance as measured by the observer/controllers. Correlations with company commander ratings were positive but not significant. The strongest correlations were between the types of bonding listed above and the preparation subtask of task performance. However, because of the limited number of platoons involved, replication is needed to confirm the results, and caution must be used in drawing conclusions.

Book excerpt: This paper presents the scales developed to determine weakness in vertical cohesion (cohesion between leaders and subordinates) between soldiers from squad members through company commanders. The weaknesses were termed 'breaks.' After a pattern of breaks was determined, the pattern was related to simulated combat performance at a U.S. Army Combat Training Center. No or few breaks in the platoon vertical-cohesion chain from squad member to company commander were associated with better platoon performance. Breaks in vertical cohesion with the top platoon leader (platoon sergeant and platoon leader) were associated with below-average platoon performance. A break at the squad leader level affected how the soldiers rated their proficiency prior to a rotation at the Combat Training Center but did not have significant bearing on platoon performance.

A second criterion is the unit's readiness in peacekeeping missions. A close representation of requirements for peacekeeping is reflected in the unit's effectiveness in home station. A modified military version of the Multifactor leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) was used to profile the individual leadership style of platoon leaders (PLs) and platoon sergeants (PSGs). The Team Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (TMLQ) was used to describe the platoon and company culture. Results for the MLQ were in line with expectations derived from Bass and Avolio's full range model of leadership. If leaders, particularly Pls, were transformational according to their superiors, peers, and subordinates, their platoons were seen by raters in home station as more effective both in home station and in simulated combat arenas. The most accurate predictions were made by the company cadres; the least accurate were made by the platoon members. Overall, the level of transformational leadership exhibited by platoon leaders in garrison predicted performance at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC). Similarly the platoon sergeant's transformational leadership also predicted performance at JRTC."--DTIC.

Book excerpt: For this research, leaders from a battalion that had completed a rotation through the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) 3 weeks earlier were given a questionnaire and/or were interviewed. They responded that training at the JRTC was realistic and somewhat stressful and that JRTC after-action reviews were very useful. The capabilities most important for platoon leaders at the JRTC were technical and tactical proficiency, initiative, and decision making; those for company commanders were planning, decision making, and communication. Platoon cohesion correlated significantly with perceived platoon performance (r = .40). The leaders provided many suggestions on how to train for a JRTC rotation. (cp).
