Short Answer-What would be a possible explanation for the decision to draw
the lines of geographic combat commands?
Your Answer:
The reason why lines exist is because no one commander can be in charge of
multiple geographic combat areas. That is why we have multiple
commanders in charge of specific areas. More so, it depends on the branch
of service in charge of the area as different branches have different forte in
the way they handle combat.
