There could be something like a flamingo-effect involved aka mass psychology. You never know how willing the veterans are to fight when they have the impression that they might lose the battle. But if they are embedded in a larger unit and the bulk is moving towards the enemy lines, then it becomes less likely that an individual soldier will start running. Alone the effect of a synchronized move by a mass increases the overall discipline.

Or take the perspective of soldiers being part of the main battle units. If they see many soldiers behind you, then it is already physically difficult for them to run in the other direction. On the other hand, if there were only the capable and willing fighting forces present, then they might run away as well. You need a very special culture (or a very capable leader or reason to fight) to enure that a small fighting force won't run away even in seemingly unwinnable situations. The classic example is the Spartans at Thermopylae.
