Queen's Commission

A Queen's Commission is an official authorization granting an individual the authority to serve as an officer in the armed forces of a country, typically the United Kingdom or Commonwealth nations. It signifies that the individual has been formally commissioned by the reigning monarch or government to lead and manage military personnel and operations. This commission is a recognition of their leadership role, responsibility, and commitment to national service. Essentially, it elevates a soldier from enlisted ranks to an officer position, confirming their qualifications to command, make strategic decisions, and uphold military discipline.
