Summary
| Within military organizations, the commander - or commanding officer, often abbreviated to C.O. - was the officer in charge of a military unit. Typically the commander had ultimate authority over the unit, and was usually given wide latitude within the bounds of military law. In this respect, commanding officers have significant responsibilities, duties and powers.A commander may have been of any rank of commissioned officer - usually there were more officers than command positions available, and time spent in command, referred to as seniority, was generally a key aspect of promotion; therefore the role of commander was highly valued, and in theory only goes to the best officers.In most militaries, the commander was often assisted by a first officer - or an executive officer, abbreviated as X.O. - whose job it was to handle personnel and day-to-day non-combat operations. | |
