Seeking advice about being in command in the military?

I am an officer candidate in the Army. I am starting as a Specialist (E4) as I enlisted after finishing my college degree. People have told me about 'blue falcons;' i.e. insubordinate subordinates. What makes a good military commander? And how does one compensate for when subordinates fail to comply with orders? What are elements of the ';command attitude';?Seeking advice about being in command in the military?
You will be trained and mentored to teach you these skills.





As an officer - you will have NCOs who will deal with the 'insubordinate subordinates.'





The best thing you can do is: Listen to your NCOs. They really are on your side and want you to succeed.Seeking advice about being in command in the military?
';Command'; is both an art and a science. It is complicated and demanding. Although there are some naturals, it generally requires extensive study and acquired experience. If you have access to Army Field Manuals that would be a start. Read up on small unit warfare and books on military leaders.
i believe being a leader is natural, if you have to ask what makes you a good leader, meaning you dont know where to start, i wouldn't wanna be stuck in a platoon with you commanding, sorry...
