Editing Unity of command (section)

==Military problems==
When the principle of unity of command is violated problems quickly develop. An example occurred in [[Afghanistan]] in 2006 when [[Combined Joint Task Force 180|Combined Forces Command-Afghanistan]] passed control of the ground fight to the [[International Security Assistance Force]].  This caused the operations to split between several unified commanders in charge of [[U.S. Central Command]], the [[NATO|North Atlantic Treaty Organization]], and the [[U.S. Special Operations Command]], which caused significant operational problems.<ref>{{cite web |author= Hope, Ian|title= Unity of Command in Afghanistan: A Forsaken Principle of War |url=https://ssi.armywarcollege.edu/pubs/display.cfm?pubID=889 |publisher= Strategic Studies Institute |location= Carlisle Barracks, PA|date= November 2008|access-date= 23 September 2015 }}</ref>
