command decision


military term;
the act of arriving at a decision and acting upon it without the direction of, or orders from a higher authority. i.e. an independant course of action without the sanction of a superior.

“corporal, who told you to toss that live round over the side? don’t you realize that this is a waste of government property and you could be charged under a violation of section 118 of the articles of war?”

“yes sir, i felt i had three options: knowing that a round which falls on the deck is considered to be a hot round and therefore unsafe; i could have left it to roll around the deck and detonate in its own time, or i could retreive it and place it in the hopper to be fired off, thus risking the lives of the three guncrew if it detonated while still in the hopper; or i could elect to throw it overboard.”

“i determined that the risk wasn’t warranted and so i tossed it.”

“it was a command decision sir.” (underbreath “stupid -sshole”)
