Baldwin’s article today about unity of command in the Pacific certainly caught my eye.

That is the second piece written by our intrepid Mr. Baldwin on the problem of unity of command in the Pacific. It appears he and many of his sources are seriously worried about it.

They should be. One of the nine U.S. Army Principles of War, our bedrock doctrine, is Unity of Command: for every objective, ensuring unity of effort under one responsible commander.

Failing to follow this Principle can be a recipe for disaster.
