What is the Role of Commander?

What is the Role of a Commander?  Is it to use UAV and point out FOBS?  Is it to direct several squads to different objectives?  Is it simply to build a FOB so when you die, you have somewhere to respon?  As this particular game has progressed, roles of Commanders seems to be nullified by wanabee heroes and persons that want to only do one role.  A commander has to be well rounded and understand the battlefield if they want there team to succeed.  So ask again, What is the Role of a Commander?

@GazGamingWolf - pay attention to this thread

thanks...was asking what you thought the about the role. Do you think the commander should ask squads to attack targets, move to areas of the map, etc.

Depends from player to player. Some player use CMD role to send out orders (where to attack/move etc.), some use it to build FOBs, but most use it to relay intel gained from UAV (which is the most important thing to do imho).

Personally, i think the CMD's primary role should be to focus on UAV to gain intel and relay the intel to SLs. Secondary role is to coordinate the squads with that intel, since he has a clear overview with his map of what is going on in the field.

FOB the Builder CMDs should be least utilized and only used if there is no other alternative. Commander in the middle of the battlefield is useless commander imo.
