Their logistics are constantly weakened by corrupt supply NCOs selling things on the black market - food, fuel, and so on. Recruits are able to bribe their way out of hard training. Lack of supplies mean exercises are hollow and meaningless, and training is curtailed (no ammo). Substance use is rampant, thus absenteeism is also.
Morale is, predictably, quite poor, and there is no sense of unit cohesion. These are militarily death sentences for a unit and its soldiers. Unit cohesion is crucial - soldiers fight for their friends beside them, if they have any. With no unit cohesion, they won't fight as well, if they fight at all.
