Adhesion,as in adhesives is the property of sticking to other things. Cohesion is the opposite, the property of sticking to itself. If a substance has high cohesion it will bead up like water or mercury and exhibit a lot of surface tension.

It means "how well things stick together." A small group of men in the military is called a unit. When the bullets start flying and the "S" hits the fan, you want the men to fight, not run. When they stick together and efficiently kill the enemy (as he so richly deserves), the unit is said to have a high degree of cohesion.

Think of it like this.
"adhesion" is like glue it sticks to just about anything.
"Cohesion" is like TEFLON it does not stick to hardly anything but itself.
