AFI 1-1, Air Force Standards, paragraph 1.7.1., cites the chain of command provides the command, control, and communication necessary to accomplish the mission. Each level in the chain is responsible for all lower levels, and accountable to all higher levels. The chain cannot work without loyalty to every level. Loyalty up and down the chain makes a system efficient and effective.  Everyone is a part of, and subject to, the chain of command and must use it properly. The key principle is to resolve problems and seek answers at the lowest possible level.
