On Cohesion

A blog to investigate and discuss the representation of cohesion in small combat units in computer models and simulations. The research covers the stress effect of soldiers in comabt and the mitigating effect of unit cohesion on their ability to function. Also it is an investigation of what entities would like to fund future research in this topic area.

Well I finaly did it I created a web page. Hopefully to complement this blog. The address is http:/warner2000.tripod.com/ It is still under contruction so be patient. I also have my disserstion avaliable for down load.

By the way an update on the confirmation class group. Well we have had 12 classes and the still have not enough trust in each other or the teachers to discuss more than superficial subjects. I guess it takes more than 12 hour to build cohesive trust.

The next year will be taking them out of the classroom environment and get them to work at a soup kitchen or a ropes course at the local college. we'll see.

for now

happy new year

No update other subjects but, I found this song that I think exemplifies Cohesion

"Brothers In Arms"

Dire straights

From the album "Brothers In Arms"

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
