- What is a Chain of Command?
In a League of KMB Clan, the chain of command is the line of
authority and responsibility along which orders are passed.
- Orders are passed down the chain of command, from a higher-ranked
member, such as the Unit-Director, to a Unit-Captain who either perform the order personally or pass it down the chain as appropriate,
until it is received by those expected to perform it.
______________________________________________________________________________________
In general, ranked-members give orders only to those directly below
them in the chain of command and receive orders only from those
directly above them.
- A ranked-member who has difficulty performing a duty or order and
appeals for relief directly to a ranked-member above his immediate
commander in the chain of command is likely to be disciplined for not
observing the chain of command.
- Similarly, a ranked-member is usually expected to give orders only to
his/her direct subordinate, even if it is just to pass an order down
to another ranked-member lower in the chain of command than said
subordinate.
______________________________________________________________________________________
A higher rank alone does not entitle a high-ranking member to give commands to just anyone of a lower rank.
- For example, the Party Leader of "Party 1" does not directly
command the Crew Leaders of "Party 2", and is generally expected to contact their Unit-Captain, if he/she requires action by Crew Leaders of
that Party.
- The chain of command means that individual members take orders
from only one superior and only give orders to the defined group of
members immediately below them.
______________________________________________________________________________________
If the Party Leader of "Party 1" does give orders directly to a Crew Leader of "Party 2", it would be considered highly unusual (a misstep,
or extraordinary circumstances, such as a lack of time or inability
to contact the Unit-Captain or Party Leader in command of "Party 2") as "Party 1" Leader would be seen as subverting the authority of the Party
Leader of "Party 2".
- Depending on the situation, the Official being ordered may choose
to carry out the order anyway, or advise that it has to be cleared
with his or her own Party Leader first, which in this example would be
with "Party 2" Leader.
- Refusal to carry out an order is almost always considered
insubordination, the only exception usually allowed is if the order
itself is illegal (i.e., the person carrying out the order would be
committing an illegal act).
