It seems that the cohesion of a battlegroup drops constantly, and "rest the battlegroup" command only restore fatigue, but not cohesion. Anyone know how to restore cohesion of a battlegroup?

Having the same problem here, and wondering if it's bugged.

Cohesion and fatigue use an internal system in the game engine called a 'trait'.   When you adjust a 'trait' value the amount of increase / decrease is scaled based on the magnitude of the current value and the magnitude of the change.  The closer to the maximum the current value is, the less of any increase is applied, and vice-versa.

As an example, if you rest a BG overnight it should recover about 1/3 the amount of cohesion it is down from the maximum.  If your BG is at 50% cohesion and your rest overnight it will be at about 66%.  If it rests overnight again it will be at about 77%.  Resting a 1% cohesion BG over night should take it to ~33%.

Resting for one day turn in TLD (with 4 turns per day) will only get you back ~4% cohesion if you're at 50%.

BG Movement Impact:

The lower the Fatigue and or Cohesion the greater the speed reduction will be of a BG....

Example for either or both;
less than 66% = -1
less than 33% = -2

Note: a BG can not go below 1 (only no fuel can prevent a motorized BG from moving, thus it equals 0)


Unit/Vehicle Replacements/Repair & Swapping Impact:

Cohesion affects whether a unit/vehicle gets replacements or repaired post-battle. Unrepairable units can also be locked so they can not be swapped out.

Example;
less than 66% then for each team to fill out casualties or repair damaged vehicles  a random 'roll' below cohesion must be done. There is also a chance if there are no replacements that you can not swap out the unit.

When you say rest overnight, do you mean like resting the night turn (ie. no night fighting) or the whole day? It seems is not noticed because the game lasts only 4 days and you need a full day of rest (as I understand) to see an increment of 1/3 more of the current cohesion level, maybe if the campaign lasted more days you could see the impact.
