Believe me, I know. Strong leadership from the top down is essential at such a time to establish new unit identity, pride and corporate loyalty.
That may be why it's discipline had broken down. It is clear that there was a leadership problem within this particular company and the section had lost trust, confidence in and respect for the officer and SNCO. .........
As my old brain cells recall many years ago in Canada, the Airborne regiment based in Petawa was disbanded. Officers were rotating in and out every few months and the NCO's seemed to be a law to themselves.....
Just my 2 cents.
