Two things every soldier needs to know:
Mission - Direction - What are we trying to accomplish? What is the goal? What is the objective?
Rules of Engagement - Authority - When, where, how, and against whom military force may be used, and what actions soldiers may take on their own authority and what directives may be issued by a commanding officer.

Warfare worldview vs. Blue-print worldview
Sovereign - Webster’s 1828 Dictionary - Supreme in power to all others; one who possesses the highest authority without control.
Self-control - ĕgkratĕia - To exercise complete control over one’s desires and actions
We have defined control as making sure everything externally is going the way we want it all the time but what if control was more about our internal intention than it is external prevention?
Which is true power and authority? Controlling what everyone does or not being able to be controlled no matter what anyone does?
