Summary/Abstract: This article presents the most important aspects of task and competence effectiveness of future commanding officers, who must be professionally prepared to assume their first official position – platoon commander. This is important due to the fact that only high-class commanders are capable of preparing their soldiers and sub-units in accordance with their battlefield role both in times of peace, as well as when peace is threatened (in times of crisis or war). The article constitutes an attempt at identifying the above, as well as significant problems which are related to the task and competence effectiveness of commanding officers.
