Command hierarchy - Chain of command

1 In a military context, the 'chain of command' is the line of authority and responsibility along which orders are passed within a

military unit and between different units. Orders are transmitted down the chain of

command, from a higher-military rank|ranked soldier, such as a commissioned officer, to lower-ranked personnel who either execute the order personally or transmit it down the chain as appropriate, until it is received by

those expected to execute it.



1 Similarly, an officer is usually expected to give orders only to his or

her direct subordinate, even if it is just to pass an order down to another service member lower in the chain of

command than said subordinate.



1 The chain of command means that individual members take orders from

only one superior and only give orders to a defined group of people

immediately below them.



1 Depending on the situation or the standard procedure of the military

organization, the lower-ranked member being ordered may choose

to carry out the order anyway, or advise that it has to be cleared with

his or her own chain of command first, which in this example would be

with officer B



1 In addition, within combat units, line officers are in the chain of command, but

officers in specialist fields (such as medical, dental, legal, supply, and

chaplain) are not, except within their own specialty. For example, a medical officer in an infantry battalion would be responsible

for the combat medics in that unit but would not be eligible to command the

battalion or any of its subordinate units.


Organizing (management) - Chain of command

1 Chain of command is the vertical lines of a command structure that is used for the purposes of overall responsibility and

accountability in the achieving of stated goals and objectives through the use of

orders one direction and reports of compliance in the other direction. Chain of command differs from horizontal lines in an

organization which are basically the communication and coordinating lines of the

organization.
