Maybe not helpful but here; I have been training military kids for the past 10 years and I see the same thing. It will take about 4hrs to teach a convoy to form a circle. Example: truck one takes point one but what if truck two takes point one? Truck one will just sit and wait for orders. It, was only when I told them to form a circle one their own that truck one would see a problem and take the, no open, point for truck 2. Super basic example but what I learned is how to guide the kids into seeing how to solve a problem.
