ülem, kes saab vägesid või muud toetust ühelt või enamalt teda toetavalt ülemalt ning kellel on toetuse rakendamise plaan
a commander having primary responsibility for all aspects of a task assigned by a higher NATO military authority and who receives forces or other support from one or more supporting commanders
Hea teada
The execution of NATO military operations will often be guided by the supported/supporting relationship when one command, force or unit should aid, protect, complement or sustain another. The supported/supporting relationship allows the strengths and capabilities of the headquarters and forces of the military command structure to complement each other. The supported/supporting relationship must work both ways, i.e. the supported commander must be able to participate and comment on developing support plans of supporting commanders. A complete understanding of the supported commander’s mission, assigned objectives, force capabilities and intent is critical to enable the supporting commander to meet their responsibilities flexibly.
