Why Cats Wag. Their Tails. One of your cat's most beautiful features is her tail. Long and graceful, it curls around her body softly when she sleeps or sits, or floats behind her when she walks. The tail is another marvelous part of your cat's anatomy, and she uses it in various ways.
The Military Version. Commander's Intent is the commander's stated vision which defines the purpose of an operation, the end state with respect to the relationship among the force, the enemy and the terrain; it must enable subordinates to quickly grasp the successful end state and their part in achieving it.
A commander in the Army is a commanding officer or team leader. Another way to look at the term is that the rank of commander in the Navy or Coast Guard is the equivalent of a lieutenant colonel in the Army. These field-grade Army officers command a battalion, a fighting or support force numbering between 300 and 1,000 men and women. Noted by the silver oak leaves on their shoulders, lieutenant colonels are two steps below general officer status.
