What is Command
Command is defined by ADDP 00.1 as authority that a commander
exercises lawfully over subordinates by virtue of rank or assignment
What does Command involve
Command includes authority and responsibility for using resources effectively
and for organising, directing, coordinating and controlling military forces in
the accomplishment of assigned missions. It also includes responsibility for
health, welfare, morale and discipline of assigned personnel.
What is the Difference Between Command and Leadership?
Command:
As a military concept, command places primacy on mission accomplishment. Definitions of command do not include ‘leading’. Nor do definitions of command mention the influencing of others.
Command is a war-fighting enabler, which must be unambiguous, flexible and efficient. Yet, command is not repressive, and it recognises - besides the moral obligations which people owe to Defence - the moral obligation which individuals owe to
themselves.
Leadership:
Leadership, defined as ‘the process of influencing others in order to gain their willing consent in the ethical pursuit of missions,’ includes humility, integrity
and moral courage. Leaders have an ethical claim to the authority of command only by unflagging integrity. People who are not leaders will, on occasion, be appointed to positions of command. The consequences are usually regrettable.
