Commander
A ground commander is a military or operational leader responsible for overseeing and coordinating ground forces during missions or operations. This role involves strategic planning, decision-making, and managing resources and personnel on the battlefield. The ground commander ensures effective communication and coordination between units to achieve operational objectives while maintaining the safety and effectiveness of their troops.
According to the Army Training For Full Spectrum Operations, there are three areas of operational domain. The three areas are operational, institutional, and self-development.
Incident Commander
Contingency plans were drawn up for their use, and Westmoreland did discuss the matter with the Commander in Chief; it remained a contingency plan.
Incident Commander
Not--The wing commander
A supporting commander's missions may diverge from a supported commander's priorities due to differing operational objectives, resource constraints, or strategic considerations. This misalignment can arise when the supporting forces are tasked with broader or distinct missions that do not directly contribute to the supported commander's immediate goals. Effective communication and coordination are essential to reconcile these differences, ensuring that both commanders can achieve their overall objectives while maintaining unity of effort. Ultimately, both commanders must remain flexible and work collaboratively to adapt to changing circumstances on the ground.
