In ground warfare, the troop commanders need excellent communications with their subordinates in order to facilitate timely delivery of tactical commands. In the days of the foot soldier, the commanders usually got around on horses unless that would mark them as a target. For instance, the officers dismounted during Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg, except for Brig. Gen. Garnett, who had been accused of cowardice by Maj. Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson. On the union side, General Hancock exposed himself on horseback and received a wound from a bullet striking his saddle.

Later on, during the World War I, the British Army generals earned disapprobation for commanding from manor houses miles in the rear of the battles.
