In a unique division, where the premium is on safety, efficiency, and precision, each man developes a fine appreciation for individual compe tence and technical proficiency in the wide variety of complex problems tasks, and commitments encountered. Each task is important, and because each man fills a vital niche in the scheme of things, he soon comes to realize that his particular skill and knowledge are indispensible in the operation of an effective division. Success in passing each operational commitment gives each man a sense of achievement which stimulates further effort. For this reason each man inevitably developes a strong sense of self-motivation and independence which is ultimately manifested in a stout advocacy of his division, and a special pride in his contribution to it. This characteristic independence is thus tempered by his sense of obligation to his shipmates, to his ship, to his service to his country and represents a self-contained division second to none
