| level in command rank in Command (structure/unit) Explanation: The Command is the military organisational unit under a commissioned officer. So the level refers to the rank within that unit. A commanding officer can give orders to those ranked below them in a chain of command. The hierarchy can be seen in the 3rd link below So, in this case it depends on the rank or level + the role and function within the Command (unit) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_(military_formation) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_and_control The US Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms.[7] defines command and control as: "The exercise of authority and direction by a properly designated commander over assigned and attached forces in the accomplishment of the mission. .. The edition of the Dictionary "As Amended Through April 2010" elaborates, "Command and control functions are performed through an arrangement of personnel, equipment, communications, facilities, and procedures employed by a commander in planning, directing, coordinating, and controlling forces and operations in the accomplishment of the mission."[9] However, this sentence is missing from the "command and control" entry for the edition "As Amended Through 15 August 2014."[10] Commanding officers are assisted in executing these tasks by specialized staff officers and enlisted personnel. These military staff are a group of officers and enlisted personnel that provides a bi-directional flow of information between a commanding officer and subordinate military units...The purpose of a military staff is mainly that of providing accurate, timely information which by category represents information on which command decisions are based. The key application is that of decisions that effectively manage unit resources. While information flow toward the commander is a priority, information that is useful or contingent in nature is communicated to lower staffs and units.[citation needed] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_hierarchy |

| level in command level/position in the chain of command Explanation: - Generate CBRN information that is dynamic by [the phase of operation, LEVEL IN COMMAND, [role, and function.] = - Generate CBRN information that is dynamically adapted to the level/position in the chain of command of the command/commanding officer to which it is sent; IOW you won't prepare and send the same information to an Army HQ and to a battalion HQ or to a company commander or to the leader of a small detachment - it's about the level/position in the chain of command of the bodies where the information is sent, not the rank of those working there. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2017-10-30 21:09:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Generate CBRN information => here it's more about collecting / analysing CBRN information depending on for who it is intended. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2017-10-30 22:14:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- THE LONG, LONG TRAIL THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE GREAT WAR OF 1914-1918 What was a battalion of infantry? The battalion was the standard operational unit of all British infantry during the Great War. Each battalion belonged to a regiment. This was not an organisational matter except that the battalion had administrative links to the regiment’s depot and (until the system was substantially changed in 1916) would generally receive reinforcement drafts from training units belonging to the same regiment. The battalion’s regiment gave it a badge and insignia, tradition and history that was used as an important part in developing a soldier’s feeling of belonging and esprit de corps. A battalion usually came under command of a brigade (often called an infantry brigade to distinguish it from a cavalry brigade). The principal exception to this was when certain battalions were designated as Pioneer. The battalion was comprised of a headquarters, four companies and its transport. Until 1915 it also had a Machine Gun Section. At full establishment in 1914 it consisted of 1,007 men, of whom 30 were officers. Battalion headquarters and transport The battalion was usually commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel, with a Major was Second-in-Command. A Captain or Lieutenant filled the role of Adjutant (in charge of administration); a Captain or Lieutenant was the Quartermaster (responsible for stores and transport); an officer of the Royal Army Medical Corps was attached to work as the battalion’s Medical Officer. A Chaplain from the Army Chaplain’s Department was assigned. Headquarters also included the Regimental Sergeant-Major (RSM, the most senior Non-Commissioned Officer) plus a number of specialist roles filled by Sergeants: Quartermaster, Drummer, Cook, Pioneer, Shoemaker, Transport, Signaller, Armourer (often attached from the Army Ordnance Corps) and Orderly Room Clerk. A Corporal and four Privates of the Royal Army Medical Corps were attached for sanitary and clean water duties; a Corporal and 15 Privates were employed as Signallers; 10 Privates were employed as pioneers (on construction, repair and general engineering duties); 11 Privates acted as drivers for the horse-drawn transport; 16 acted as stretcher-bearers (these often being the musicians of the battalion band); 6 Privates acted as officers’ batmen (personal servants) and two as orderlies for the Medical Officer. http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/army/definitions-of-units/wha... levels of command: Army, battalion, brigade, ... ranks: Lieutenant Colonel, Major, Captain, Lieutenant, Sergeant, Corporal, Private .... |
