Seems these are all just get+behind. Note that one can also be behind his leader or team, as in "I can assure you that they are behind Mr. Fuller, and as to Mr. Reid's testimony, they assured Mr. Fuller of their confidence in him and his ability to put across the job."; one can be behind the wheel of a car; and one can be behind in his work.—msh210℠ (talk) 20:56, 4 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
The transitive sense doesn't meet the basic phrasal-verb test of accepting a personal pronoun between verb and particle. And behind retains the meaning with other verbs (be, stand, unite, fall in line). The intransitive sense seems non-idomatic as behind has the sense required with other verbs (lag, fall). OTOH, some other dictionaries have the transitive sense. DCDuringTALK12:24, 29 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
