Squads have existed for thousands of years as vital forms of social organization. They reemerge today as a potent cultural force that rejects a strictly individualist philosophy. The informal nature of these peer-to-peer communities reveals the central role that trust plays in squad logic. They create opportunities and group resiliency that would have been impossible to achieve alone. The necessary condition of the squad is the sense of persistence: co-presence and continuous availability to one another. The squad is a coherent body. It is not you or me. It’s US. WE. OURS.
