One of the problems in any military organization is the structure of the military chain of command. The strict chain of command is required because, when fighting a war, it is crucial that legitimate orders be carried out. There is usually no time for discussion, and commanders do not usually have time to explain things to the subordinates who are to carry out the orders. It is important that each subordinate communicates to his or her superior officer and not deviate from that order. It would lead to confusion if an officer would go directly to a subordinate three levels below the officer.

I'll try:

The strict military chain of command requires that each subordinate communicate to their superior officer and that the subordinate follow the orders of their superior to the letter without deviation. This is due to the fact that there is typically no time for discussion or explanation about orders from superior officers during wartime. While it might be more efficient for a superior officer gave orders directly to subordinate officers many levels before them, such actions would lead to unnecessary confusion during a time when pervasive dissemination of information is crucial to military success.

In the military, the chain of command is essential to ensure that orders are correctly carried out. It is important that each level in that chain of command receives accurate information abou the order given. This avoids any chance of confusion.
