This visibility is crucial in determining the war fighting capability of the Army and its subordinate commands. This visibility is also vital in determining the strength and capability of the Army and subordinate commands within the Army.
Oxford University Press: New York. Leadership in the Profession of Arms 2 Abstract I outline the unique causations and contingencies influencing leadership in military contexts. After defining what constitutes a Profession of Arms (internal context) and the combat operating environment (external context), I offer a working definition of leadership in military professions as well as define a professional military leader. Based on these definitions and facets of the internal and external contexts, I discuss unique phenomenon influencing leadership at the individual level of analysis, such as ethos, emotions, sensemaking, cognition and judgment, identity and self-complexity, individual differences, and motivation. Next, I apply the military context to the dyad and collective levels, and discuss effects on leader-follower relationships, leader prototypes, unit composition types, group processes and goals, shared leadership, and collective influences on ethical behavior.

Specifically, this implies that the force structure and equipment of sustainment units should be focused on decisive action with the necessary protection, mobility, firepower, and communications to enable effective sustainment of the supported combat organization.

The United States Army Chain of command is important. It allows soldiers to address issues accordingly, depending on their matter of importance. Certain members of the chain of command, such as SGM’s, 1SG’s, and such, have higher levels responsibility, and a higher number of soldiers to look after than a platoon sergeant, or sqaud leader are responsible for. The purpose chain of command is so that menial issues can be resolved by team leaders, squad leaders, platoon sergeants, and so forth, depending on their level of importance.
