The soldiers in your base rely on GMP and if you ever go bankrupt then moral will slowly drop and soldiers may start to leave, similarly if your income is low then staff may desert as well.

High moral will improve staff stats and efficiency in their posts while low moral will decrease stats. Regularly visiting Mother Base is a wise choice to avoid dialogue stacking up but also to show your face to the troops once in a while.

The level of your base is determined by the cumulative value of all your staff. Having a higher moral will improve your bases rating overall.
