This research examined the effect of the Aerospace Expeditionary Force deployment process, comprised of individual anxiety, group unity, and work-group characteristics, on team cohesion, deployment commitment, and team effectiveness. The sample obtained included 643 airmen who had deployed within a 12-month period or who were scheduled to deploy within the next 3-month period. The methods of analysis of variance and multiple regression were used to evaluate the six research objectives and nine hypotheses. Results indicate that the Aerospace Expeditionary Force deployment process has indeed positively affected team cohesion and perceived team effectiveness. These results were found to be positive regardless of whether individuals deployed as teams from the same base or as individuals from separate bases. These findings indicate that it may be satisfactory to deploy individuals by themselves, but that commanders should take all measures necessary to avoid doing so as the deployment commitment and perceived team effectiveness relationship is positively affected by individuals deploying as a team and negatively affected by individuals deploying by themselves.
