One question I have regarding consolidation is unit identity, heritage, and heraldry as they support unit morale and cohesion. At what level, if any, would commanders deem it necessary to retain prewar designations as a tool to help maintain unity and loyalty? Would "we're 1st Platoon, B Company, 3-143 Infantry" still invoke any sense of pride or purpose for the squad-sized collection of survivors and replacements?
