How it's used
Focuses specifically on the military context of commanding soldiers in the field. While it can be used metaphorically in some professional settings to describe managing a large team, it retains a strong sense of authoritative, top down leadership. It is rarely used in casual, non military conversation unless someone is making a humorous comparison to their own work environment.
