• Leadership and Command Authority

When you are commanding, leading [ Soldiers] under conditions where physical exhaustion and privations must be ignored; where the lives of [Soldiers] may be sacrificed, then, the efficiency of your leadership will depend only to a minor degree on your tactical or technical ability. It will primarily be determined by your character, your reputation, not so much for courage-which will be accepted as a matter of course-but by the previous reputation you have established for fairness, for that high-minded patriotic purpose, that quality of unswerving determination to carry through any military task assigned to you. General of the Army George C. Marshall Speaking to officer candidates (1941)

• Command is a specific and legal leadership responsibility unique to the military.

Command is the authority that a commander in the military service lawfully exercises over subordinates by virtue of rank or assignment. Command includes the leadership, authority, responsibility, and accountability for effectively using available resources and planning the employment of, organizing, directing, coordinating, and controlling military forces to accomplish assigned missions. It includes responsibility for the unit readiness, health, welfare, morale, and disciplinary of assigned personnel. (FM 5-0.1)
