TomJoad,
You are totally and utterly correct in your last comments (except for EOD, where the team interactions are slightly atypical). Iraq and Afghanistan have raised the level of requirements to understand human interactions for all types of teams, right from section and platoon levels, all the way up the chain.
Another example of poor teams are many of the high profile programmes of recent history, e.g. MRA4. Look at how involvement of officers in projects has/ is being changed.
As for sharing a space with someone for long periods of time (not Mars trips lengths) look at submariners.
Funnily enough, the interaction of large teams does not have to be the same as with small teams.
