I'm not familiar with Wheelan's work, but will check into it.
Just wanted to share that the US military spends a whole lot of effort on trying to understand group and leadership dynamics. One of the things that led into Kahneman and Tversky's Nobel winning research was an attempt to predict future leadership capability among new recruits that utterly failed. Whatever leadership is, it's not easy to predict before it emerges by other traits.
There's a gap between how the US military is portrayed in movies, etc, vs its actual nature. It's the US's largest and most diverse employer, where the bulk of the staff are young people from a low income or otherwise marginalized background. They spend a lot of effort on figuring out the best ways to make that work, even if they fail at it a lot as well.
