The last law of combat is decentralized command allowing subordinate leaders to lead this is fundamental to the success of any military unit or team. Colonel Hackworth also taught me about things that I shouldn't do from areas where he fell short. He lost his temper or let his ego drive his actions sometimes he lashed out at people when he should have kept his mouth shut and broke rules while on active duty was less than ideal. Even when Colonel Hackworth wasn't right he was humble and honest about it which meant I could still learn from him even in his mistakes over time.
