About

Chapter 1 COMMAND AND STAFF RELATIONSHIPS Staffs exist to help the commander make and implement decisions. No command decision is more important, or more difficult to make, than that which risks the lives of soldiers to impose the nation's will over a resisting enemy. Staff organizations and procedures are structured to meet the commander's critical information requirements. Therefore, to understand the staff and its organization, responsibilities, and procedures, it is first necessary to understand how commanders command. Since the Army exists to successfully fight and win the nation's wars, understanding command begins with understanding how the Army fights. The skills, procedures, and techniques associated with command in war also may apply to managing Army organizations in peacetime, however our doctrine must focus on warfighting.
