Commanding Officers

Commanding Officers (COs) are individuals in charge of military units, such as companies, battalions, or ships. They are responsible for making critical decisions, leading their personnel, and ensuring missions are executed effectively. COs provide guidance, discipline, and strategic direction, often overseeing training and operations. They also represent their unit in higher command structures and are accountable for the welfare and performance of their troops. In a broader context, the term can apply to leaders in various organizations, where they hold authority and responsibility for achieving objectives.
