When the Teams Came Marching Home

U.S. Military Team Research Since World War II

  • Chapter
Work Teams: Past, Present and Future

Part of the book series: Social Indicators Research Series ((SINS,volume 6))

Abstract

Use of teams has become prevalent throughout our late 20th century society, and the U. S. military is no exception. From operating high tech equipment to accomplishing complex field maneuvers, military personnel face challenging tasks that demand a team oriented atmosphere. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the stream of team performance research accomplished for the U.S. military. The emphasis of the review is Navy related research, as that is our speciality area.
