Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses the central role the battalion commanders have in the overallarchitecture of the military system. The Battalion Commander is close enough to the team sothat he can personally interact with every member of the battalion and he also leads a unitlarge enough to have a major impact on the dynamics of operations (be it in peacetime, crisisor war). The cornerstone of the paper is the attempt to synthesize the essential elements of theongoing training of these leaders, importance of studying and hard work, delegating punctualtasks to the staff. The essential role of battalion commander in the “growth” of young officers,the importance of tradition, positive motivation and the digitalization of command are asmany focal points in completing a “good growth” for the commander as are intriguing topicsfor any further discussion.
