• TEAT-WO RFC. - By Captain lu. C.Lartin, 7 th. Inf,
For anything to succe ssful where there are a number involved
there must be "Teamwork". It applies to business in the commercial
world, to professions, to the sports and the Army.
Take in the business world and imagine how long a large corpora
tion would he able to run if there was not the proper spirit and
teamwork among it's employees - it would soon go into bankruptcy.
Think of a successful football team without the spirit of team
work - that pulling together. It is not the star halfback that
wins the games but it is the entire team putting forth all of their
concerted efforts to make a touchdown. TheBackfi&id could not do
anything individually or collectively if the line in front of them
did not get their opponents out of the way for them. The man that
plays guard or tackle and puts everything he has into every play
does his bit towrard winning the game just as much as the man that
carries the hall. The lineman opens the holes in the opponents linex
for the man carrying .the ball to go thru, never expecting to get any
glory for it but. doing it solely with the spirit of teamwork.
A successful football team is composed of eleven men, who put
everything they have into every play forgetting the individual self
but having in mind only their watchword "Teamwork". The same is
true in the Army. A good squad is composed of eight men who exert
every effort to pull together as a whole for the betterment of their
squad. Their training begins with the individual and works on up
thru the squad, section,etc. to Armies.
A man might be well trained as an individual but unless he is
trained as a member of a team he will be useless to combat an enemy.
A squad that has the spirit of teamwork and is trained together
as a team will be much more successful than just eight men who might
be good individually in some things but have never worked as a team.
Pull together and remember the wordTeamwork.
