You probably know the phrase "run it up the chain" – and that refers to sending an issue or concern to someone's immediate supervisor or manager. This concept comes from the military. The chain of command is in place to maintain order and to carry out duties effectively. Because of its importance, as a recruit, the chain of command is one of the first things that is taught and tested on. And, depending on the military branch, this can be fairly easy to very complicated to understand.
The chain of command is a two-way street. Military members have someone they have to answer to and receive orders from, and it's the same person who listens and responds to their questions or concerns. But that makes the chain of command a rather narrow street. Due to this stringent hierarchy, breaking the chain is highly unusual – when a superior would give direct orders to someone of a lower rank not directly under their command, or when a subordinate gives their concerns to a commander above their own. So are you ready to test your knowledge on the chain of command? We hope you have fun taking this quiz! Good luck!
