The title "Commander" is not a formal title. In the past, it was a general term for cadres at all levels of the China People's Liberation Army. Compared with combatants, when there is no military rank system, it is often used to express the equality between officers and soldiers. Now this meaning has faded, and this word can be understood as the person in charge of command and dispatch in a war or combat force.

Commanders must have high comprehensive qualities such as political quality, scientific and technological quality, psychological quality, innovative quality, command quality, management quality, physical quality and overall awareness. To improve the command quality, we should emphasize the following three abilities: 1 and comprehensive coordination ability. 2. Real-time command ability. 3, command technology application ability. Due to the prominent role of command automation in information warfare, the ability to use command technology has become a "multiplier" to improve command efficiency.
