   In the military service there are two kinds, the preparatory command, such as forward, which indicates the movement that is to be executed, and the command of execution, such as MARCH, or HALT, or in the manual of arms, the part of the command which causes the execution. The tone of command is animated, distinct, and of a loudness proportioned to the number of men under instruction.

Examples of commands in a Sentence

1. John Locke:

   Tis a Mistake to think this Fault [tyranny] is proper only to Monarchies; other Forms of Government are liable to it, as well as that. For where-ever the Power that is put in any hands for the Government of the People, and the Preservation of their Properties, is applied to other ends, and made use of to impoverish, harass, or subdue them to the Arbitrary and Irregular Commands of those that have it: There it presently becomes Tyranny, whether those that thus use it are one or many.

2. Colin Reed:

   We should support guys like Robert Mueller, and we shouldn’t be the ones launching attacks on him. He’s someone who was nominated by George W. Bush, confirmed overwhelmingly and commands universal support from both parties.

3. Butler:

   Authority intoxicates, And makes mere sots of magistrates; The fumes of it invade the brain, And make men giddy, proud, and vain; By this the fool commands the wise, The noble with the base complies, The sot assumes the rule of wit, And cowards make the base submit.

4. Police Chief David Brown:

   A struggle ensued after officers gave verbal commands to the suspect to show his hands and he didn't comply.

5. Greek Captain Argyris Frangoulis:

   There's no room for sentimentalism. We execute commands, beyond commands, we're human. We'll lose heart, we'll cry, we'll feel sad if something doesn't go well. There isn't a person who won't be moved by this.
