How War Command Is Applied In The Army

By Cathy Mercer


War command can be emphasized as a function that has to be exercised, more or less continuously if the army is to operate and exist. The definition is a happy one since it serves to bring out the extraordinary importance of hierarchy. The few functions carried out by or inside the armed forces are as important in respect, existence and operations.

Just like anything else, authority can vary with either complexity, size or even the differentiation of a given army. This can be reflected in a situation where there can be an army that consists of large troops and that with few members since both troops cannot be managed the same. An army that does not have other subdivisions among it is easier to manage or rather control. Coordinating a subdivided army is rather difficult.

The role of authority should make work easier by making sure that all the things needed in an army are available. Some of these things can include food, sanitary services, and also system justice among others. This role increases only with the sophistication of forces, and these forces make it possible to account for the attention paid to the role. Once all these aspect can be determined, carrying out responsibilities becomes possible, and the army can relate to facts that are of importance to them. Some of these facts include the amount of death on the enemy and also damages caused and enabling them to be time cautious and ensure there is the minimum or no loss to itself.

Responsibilities are an ability to determine what is true from what is a false, relevant thing from irrelevant, material from immaterial. In this case, authoritative responsibilities can be subdivided into two sectors. They can be determined as functional related and output related responsibilities. There are qualities that make an ideal control system, and they include the ability to gather information accurately, fast, comprehensively, and selectively.

With it, there are some pros that include coordination, harmony and peace among the troops, management of given tasks among the force members, cooperation between the commander and the troop members and also between the troop's members among themselves. The outcomes enable determine the progress of the force.

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.

As this discussion implies, differences between various command systems can be resolved into the various ways in which they approach these problems. The methods used to deal with this increasing complexity, the relative attention paid to function related and output related responsibilities, the emphasis given towards any given part of command process and the strengths and weaknesses displayed in relation to the ideal- taken together, these qualities will go far toward defining the nature of any given command system.

Aspects like command are distinguished as stated earlier. They establish a standing ground of either positivity or negativity based on how it can be laid down. War command is a way of looking organized but if not put into proper use can be disorganized. Favorable outcomes come from reputable leadership
