Company commander
A company commander is an Army officer, usually a captain or lieutenant, who has authority over a military unit or company, which typically includes 100-250 soldiers. Because a company commander is responsible for all soldiers within a unit, new commanders' advice centers on how to use leadership skills to develop and build teams to accomplish shared goals. In addition to leadership skills, it's helpful for commanders to focus on strengthening some other skills that can help them fulfill their various responsibilities [Indeed].
The company commander is responsible for his soldiers' training, safety, security, and discipline. He is also responsible for mission accomplishment. He directs and supervises all phases of operations and employment of the unit. He maintains visibility of employed company assets and personnel. He is assisted and advised by his officers and key noncommissioned officers in performing his duties. The following are among the commander's most important duties and responsibilities:
