In Command: The Politics of Military Operations from Korea to Ukraine (Oxford UP, 2022), Lawrence Freedman explores the importance of political as well as operational considerations in command with a series of eleven vivid case studies, all taken from the period after 1945. It is also because commanders in one realm must possess the ability to work with other command structures, including those of other branches of the armed forces and allies. This is largely because how wars are fought depends to a large extent on how their aims are set. But it is also an intensely political process.
Command in war is about forging effective strategies and implementing them, making sure that orders are appropriate, well-communicated, and then obeyed.
