Military strategy - World War I 1 Unity of command became a question when the various nation states began coordinating assaults and defenses. Under the pressure of horrendously destructive German attacks beginning on March 21, 1918, the Entente eventually settled under Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch. The Germans generally led the Central Powers, though German authority diminished and lines of command became confused at the end of the war. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html

10
United States Army Air Corps - Problems with unity of command 1 The problems engendered by the lack of unity of command were further exacerbated by the assignment of GHQ Air Force to Army GHQ https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
11
Battle of Perryville - Kentucky Campaign of 1862 1 The campaign plan was bold but risky, requiring perfect coordination between multiple armies that would initially have no unity of command https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
12
United States Army Air Forces - Expansion 1 Lovett had been elevated Assistant Secretary for Air to resolve the unity of command organizational problems of the Air Corps and had fashioned the compromise that had resulted in creation of the AAF https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
13
Battle of Cedar Creek - Sheridan's campaign 1 Grant considered unity of command to be essential and recommended George Meade for the position, but Lincoln vetoed that because Radical Republicans|Radicals had launched a major political attack on Meade https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
14
Foreign internal defense - Kilcullen's Three Pillars 1 The three pillar model repeats later as part of the #Gaps|gaps to be closed to end an insurgency. Obviously enough, you cannot command what you do not control. Therefore, unity of command (between agencies or among government and non- government actors) means little in this environment. Unity of command is one of the axioms of military doctrine change with the use of swarming:. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
15
Foreign internal defense - Kilcullen's Three Pillars 1 In Edwards swarming model, as in Kilcullen's mode, unity of command becomes unity of effort at best, and collaboration or deconfliction at least. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
16
Goldwater-Nichols Act - Interaction of services 1 It also provided unity of command, conforming with leading military science https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
17
Principles of war - United States principles of war 1 * Unity of command|Unity of Command– For every objective, seek unity of command and unity of effort. At all levels of war, employment of military forces in a manner that masses combat power toward a common objective requires unity of command and unity of effort. Unity of command means that all the forces are under one responsible commander. It requires a single commander with the requisite authority to direct all forces in pursuit of a unified purpose. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
18
Principles of war - Other uses 1 These principles can be applied to non- military uses when Unity of command is separated into coordination and reality, Economy of Force is redefined as use of resources, Mass is separated into renewable and non-renewable resources, and relationships are separated from unity of command. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
19
Principles of war - Other uses 1 In 1913 Harrington Emerson proposed 12 principles of efficiency,p.3, Emerson the first three of which could be related to principles of war: Clearly defined ideals— Objective, Common sense— Simplicity, Competent counsel— Unity of Command. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
20
Turning Point of the American Civil War - Union victory in the Chattanooga Campaign (November 1863) 1 46]): First Bull Run, which resulted in establishment of unity of command in the Union army; Fort Donelson, after which he considered Vicksburg and Atlanta (and presumably Chattanooga) to be inevitable; the fall of Battle of Wilmington|Wilmington, which he claimed led directly to Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
21
Span of control - Theoretical considerations 1 It appears natural, that no organization can afford to maintain a control structure of a dimension being required for implementing a scalar chain under the unity of command condition https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
22
Span of control - Theoretical considerations 1 In order to put this system to work, Taylor’s functional foremanship has to be abandoned, and unity of command needs to be established https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
23
United States Army Air Service 1 During the war its responsibilities and functions were split between two coordinate agencies, the Department of Military Aeronautics (DMA) and the Bureau of Aircraft Production (BAP), each reporting directly to the Secretary of War, creating a dual authority over military aviation that caused unity of command difficulties. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
24
United States Army Air Service - Aircraft production failures 1 Charles Menoher was appointed to the vacancy on January 2, 1919, but the patchwork nature of laws and executive orders that had created the various parts of the Air Service prevented him from exercising all their legal powers and ending the unity of command problems caused by dual authority.Futrell (1971), p https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
25
United States Army Air Service - Framing the issues 1 Menoher headed a board consisting of himself and three other generals, all artillery officers, appointed to report back to Congress on the proposed legislation and predictably argued that Unity of Command and conformity to Army discipline overrode all other considerations.Tate(1998), pp https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
26
Western Theater of the American Civil War - Early operations (June 1861 ndash; January 1862) 1 By January 1862, this disunity of command was apparent because no strategy for operations in the Western theater could be agreed upon https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
27
Western Theater of the American Civil War - Tennessee, Cumberland, and Mississippi Rivers (Februaryndash;June 1862) 1 Beauregard had arrived from the East to report to Johnston in February, and he commanded all Confederate forces between the Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers, which effectively divided the unity of command so that Johnston controlled only a small force at Murfreesboro, Tennessee https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
28
Western Theater of the American Civil War - Tennessee, Cumberland, and Mississippi Rivers (Februaryndash;June 1862) 1 On March 11, President Lincoln appointed Halleck the commander of all forces from the Missouri River to Knoxville, Tennessee, thus achieving the needed unity of command, and Halleck ordered Buell to join Grant's forces at Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee River.Cunningham, pp https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
29
Henry H. Arnold - Air Corps mid-career 1 While a significant step towards an independent air force, this dual authority created serious problems of unity of command for the next six years https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
30
Henry H. Arnold - VLR operations against Japan 1 This unique command arrangement may also have contributed to his health problems (see below), but after the negative experience of building an effective bombing force against Germany, and realizing the consequences of failure against Japan, Arnold concluded that, absent any unity of command in the Pacific theaters, administrative decisions regarding VLR operations could best be handled personally https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
31
Douglas Haig - Political manoeuvres 1 In a private meeting with Lloyd George, Haig agreed with Robertson's position that the CIGS should himself be the delegate to Versailles, or else that the Versailles delegate be clearly subordinate to the CIGS to preserve unity of command https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
32
Battle of the Heligoland Bight (1939) - German defences 1 Nevertheless, Schumacher and his counterpart in the Navy were of the same rank, so each lacked authority over the other, an arrangement that lacked the needed unity of command. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
33
Ernst von Hoeppner - World War I 1 In October 1916, Erich Ludendorff|General Ludendorff decided that the German Air Service needed greater unity of command with a general officer having authority over all the Army's aerial combat and anti- aircraft units both in the field and at home https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
34
Elmendorf Air Force Base - Cold War 1 The Alaskan Command, established 1 January 1947, also headquartered at Elmendorf, was a unified command under the Joint Chiefs of Staff based on lessons learned during World War II when a lack of unity of command hampered operations to drive the Japanese from the western Aleutian Islands of Attu and Kiska. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
35
POSDCORB - Elaborations 1 Also under 'coordination', as well as 'organization', Gulick emphasizes the theory of 'unity of command', that each worker should only have one direct superior so as to avoid confusion and inefficiency. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
36
POSDCORB - Place in Management and Public Administration History 1 POSDCORB generally fits into the Classical Management movement, being classified as an element of scientific management, which was popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. Gulick's POSDCORB principles were instrumental in highlighting the theory of span of control, or limits on the number of people one manager could supervise, as well as unity of command to the fields of management and public administration. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
37
POSDCORB - Criticisms 1 Simon's criticisms largely center around 'span of control' and 'unity of command', stating that sometimes it is necessary for a subordinate to receive guidance or directives from more than one source, as well as Gulick's division of labor concepts. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
38
Vladivostok - Politics 1 Head of the city of Vladivostok on the principles of unity of command directs the administration of the city of Vladivostok in accordance with federal laws, the laws of the Primorsky Krai and the charter of the city. The structure of the city administration said City Council by the head. The structure of the administration of the city of Vladivostok may include the territorial bodies of administration of the city of Vladivostok. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-unity-of-command-toolkit.html
