Abstract: This paper addresses the deviant behaviours that are irrelevant to the disciplined military command and consequences of these behaviours that led to crisis of confidence between command and fighters during the terrorist attack in Mosul, Iraq which vacated the military organisation from its strength and cohesion. A pilot study is adopted in order to reveal the real causes of the emotional disorder in combatants resulting in a negative impact on their cognitive performance. The research seeks to link between organisational toxicity, emotional disorder, and cognitive performance. A questionnaire is used to measure the impact. Research sample includes high-ranking officers working in command staff headquarter. Research findings confirm that organisational toxicity in the behaviour of some high ranking officials and officers did cause an emotional disorder and turmoil to the fighting personnel resulting in a hindrance in their cognitive performance and consequently a total deterioration of the overall performance of military forces.
