==Military chain of command==
In a [[military]] context, the '''chain of command''' is the line of authority and responsibility along which orders are passed within a [[military unit]] and between different units. In simpler terms, the chain of command is the succession of leaders through which command is exercised and executed. Orders are transmitted down the chain of command, from a responsible superior, such as a [[commissioned officer]], to lower-ranked subordinate(s) who either execute the order personally or transmit it down the chain as appropriate, until it is received by those expected to execute it. "Command is exercised by virtue of office and the special assignment of members of the Armed Forces holding military rank who are eligible to exercise command."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.whs.mil/library/mildoc/AR%20600-20,%2020%20August%201986.pdf|title=Army Regulation 600-20 20AUG86|access-date=2018-01-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180117131928/http://www.whs.mil/library/mildoc/AR%20600-20,%2020%20August%201986.pdf|archive-date=2018-01-17|url-status=dead}}</ref>
