11.025 When the troops are in desperate situations, they fear...

When the troops are in desperate situations, they fear nothing; having penetrated deep in enemy ground, they are united.

The longer one's team has worked together, the most they trust each other in getting out of the "lethal" situation. Knowing each other habits and behavior is very important when building a solid team.

Even though a particular situation may become grim, a force having won several battles will have no fear. They will maintain faith in themselves and their leader.

Sun Tzu said, "When the troops are in desperate situations, they fear nothing; having penetrated deep in enemy ground, they are united."

The general knows that when he is controlling an army of united and fearless warriors in the heart of opposition territory that victory will be achieved.

When it's a do or die situation troops/people can lose their fear and become more focused on the primary objective of survival/victory.

Trivia is more easily recognized as what it is.

I wonder if this type of peril is necessary to bring out the best of a team???

This passage follows along the same line as an earlier one. When your people have successfully manuevered through tough times together strong bonds are formed. They are equipped with the knowledge that they can work well together in the eye of the storm. Therefore fear is overcome and a united front emerges.
