Genuine question from a civilian... without of course knowing if she was promoted too far too fast.
If a manifestly incompetent commander is appointed to a unit like this - how does it work in terms of military culture and the on the ground reality of command and control?
Do the subordinates just grin and bear it - hoping more senior officers will notice?
Does one of the subordinates go over their commanders head - and have a quiet word with the bosses boss?
Or is there a `work to rule' type scenario - where subordinates more or less tacitly rebel against the commander?
Obviously the dangers and safety issues in a team like this make it absolutely imperative the commander is at the top of their game.
Just wondering...
