How War Command Is Applied In The Army

By Cathy Mercer


Some of the things we define have positive definitions because of that unique aspect they portray to us. In this case, war command being a function that has to be exercised time to time more or less continuously is one of the things I can give this positive definition. This is because the few functions related to it can be carried out by the army are beneficial since they are related to respect, existence and also operations.

Control can arise and vary with either size, complexity or also the differentiation of an army. At the comparison of a hundred-man army and a one-man army, the one-man army does not require authority like that of the hundred-man army. An army that would be working under a solid entity of men would be easier to control. A force can be subdivided into several units despite its size. However, coordination of the subunits would be difficult.

The role of hierarchy increases with the sophistication of the forces which helps account for the attention paid to it. First, delegation of instructions must arrange and coordinate everything an army needs to exist that is its food supply, its sanitary service, and its system of military justice and so on. Second, chain of responsibilities enables the army to carry out its mission, which is to inflict the maximum amount of death and destruction on the enemy within the shortest time and at minimum loss of itself.

Authority has responsibilities, and they can be subdivided into two parts. They can be defined as the functional related and the output related responsibilities. Some of the qualities of an ideal control is the ability to gather information accurately, selectively, fast and comprehensively. To determine the true from false, the relevant from the irrelevant and material from immaterial, reliable means should be developed. All displays should be detailed, clear and comprehensive.

Outcomes of a given situation determine a lot and also enables predictions of the progress to be expected. Some of the benefits of this role is that some skills like coordination, peace and harmony among people, management skills and also respect can be established.

Though it may be of benefit to the army and the society, there is the other side of the coin.Authority can be the source of enmity between several commanders even in the same force which can cause a lot of dispute and damage. It is to the best interest of every person to know that it is not always that a commander is right. Some do not know how to manage anger or be lenient to the troop members who sometimes defy what they wanted done. Even leaders can be the cause of conflicts.

Systems of command can be differentiated and determined into other ways, which enables the problems approachable. Tactics used to deal with qualities like complexity increase, attention given to the responsibilities, emphasis of the command process, and also the strength and weaknesses determine the nature of command.

War command in itself can be the source of an organized army, and it can also be the source of a disorganized army. It depends on the management and the way of taking responsibilities. Though every time the word war comes up there is fear, it sometimes brings out the best in some people especially the troops and can also be their ruin.
