The U.S. Army emphasizes the development of cohesive teams in its "People First" initiative, recognizing that its greatest asset is its people. Cohesive teams foster trust, inclusivity, and a strong sense of belonging among team members. Through targeted training, mentorship, and well-being programs, the Army ensures efficient operations, resilience in adversity, and adaptability to rapid changes. The "People First" initiative empowers everyone to contribute to the greater mission by creating a dynamic and supportive community.
