Officers are issued side arms to ensure that the soldiers under their command fight. When in a battle, possibly on the losing side, poorly trained soldiers may choose to run rather than fight. The first line of defense against this is boot camp. The only truly effective means of making sure that soldiers fight is to build teamwork. A soldier rarely fight for Country, or purpose or cause. That may be why they enlisted, but when a battle begins, soldiers fight to save their lives, and to save those of their fellow soldiers. If this fails (as often occurs during wars where many enlisted men are draftees) an officer has every right under military law to shoot their own soldiers if they try and leave in the middle of a battle. This is done to prevent a mass exodus. Killing one soldier may ensure that many more stay and fight and can drastically change the course of a battle and even a war.
