It covers every aspect of military operations and administration and exists only within national services. 3, record 2, English, - full%20command
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The term "command," as used internationally, implies a lesser degree of authority than when it is used in a purely national sense. No NATO or coalition commander has full command over the forces assigned to him since, in assigning forces to NATO, nations will delegate only operational command or operational control. 3, record 2, English, - full%20command

Il couvre tous les aspects des opérations et de l'administration militaires et n'existe que dans les armées nationales. 3, record 2, French, - commandement%20int%C3%A9gral
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le terme «commandement», dans son sens international, implique un moindre degré d'autorité que dans son sens strictement national. Aucun commandant OTAN ou de coalition n'a le commandement intégral des forces qui lui sont affectées, car les pays ne délèguent que le commandement opérationnel ou le contrôle opérationnel des forces qu'ils affectent à l'OTAN. 3, record 2, French, - commandement%20int%C3%A9gral

La autoridad y responsabilidad militar de un oficial superior para dar órdenes a sus subordinados. Cubre todos los aspectos operativos y administrativos y existe sólo dentro de las tropas nacionales. El término mando, tal como se usa de forma internacional, implica un grado menor de autoridad que cuando se usa en un sentido estrictamente nacional. De lo anterior se deduce que ningún jefe de la OTAN tiene mando total sobre las fuerzas que se le han asignado. Esto es así porque las naciones, cuando asignan fuerzas a la OTAN, solamente lo hacen sobre el mando o control operativo. 1, record 2, Spanish, - mando%20total
