Consider the importance of teamwork in the military, with the goal of establishing a beachhead, such as the Allied invasion and D-Day landing at Normandy, France during World War II.
Now, imagine another goal of smaller scale where an infantry unit of 200 men must attack an objective in a remote mountainous area. To get there, they must travel by helicopter and to increase safety, the operation must be done at night.
Since it is a mountainous area, there isn’t much open space; five helicopters are the most that can safely fit into the landing zone (LZ) and there is only one LZ available.
Let’s say each helicopter can carry 10 passengers, so this means you will need 20 aircraft to insert these troops, but the infantry unit will have to be divided into four groups and they will arrive in the LZ in waves of 50 people each.
The number of and complexity involved will require coordination and teamwork.
