Every military member has an immediate superior. That superior has a superior, and right on up to the President. Using the chain of command means that soldiers/sailors receive orders and ask questions first from/to their immediate superior. "Jumping" the chain of command, by bypassing the immediate superior is greatly frowned upon.
