Summary/Abstract: The opportunity to command is a tremendous honor and responsibility and unquestionably will be one of the most significant roles in Air Force career. The command is a special trust. The legal and moral responsabilities of the commanders exceed those of any other leader of similar position or autority. Nowhere else does a boss have responsibility for how the subordinates live and what they do after work. The very nature of the command is unique to the military, there is no civilian equivalent for this level of trust, autority and responsability.The essence of command is leadership, and the self example will set the standard for the entire organization. The institution looks to the commander to make sure that the mission succeeds, that the people receive the proper training and care and that the value survives. For this reason, the command is reserved for those individuals exhibiting only the highest levels of integrity, selflessness and excellence.
