Meyers %J Scientia Militaria : South African Journal of Military Studies %D 2012 %I Stellenbosch University %R 10.5787/12-1-638 %X In order to adapt successfully to the military milieu, a soldier is required to arrange his personal values and disposition in accordance with the demands of that particular milieu. Selfdenial and total identification with the group are required of a good soldier. He must also always be correctly motivated as sincere belief in the purpose and necessity of a war is the most important component for the creating of esprit de corps, which in turn can greatly influence the soldier's performance on the battlefield. This article is a thoroughly researched attempt to analyse the soldiers' problems in adapting to a military milieu and to offer possible solutions to some of these problems. %K the creating of esprit de corps %K military milieu %K influence the soldier's performance %K gedragspatrone en denkwyse %K Sielkundige ineenstorting %U http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za/pub/article/view/638
