Himmler adopted the doctrine of Auftragstaktik ("mission command"), whereby orders were given as broad directives, with authority delegated downward to the appropriate level to carry them out in a timely and efficient manner.
Principled consistency in the use of force does not mean, in this, nonhybrid conception, that government is bound punctiliously to apply all norms created by the directives of authorities according to their terms, or to repeat past mistakes.
Earlier studies have shown that directives from authorities are not always well received.
On September 17th, the President signed a still classified directive delegating lethal authority to the agency.
"We will issue a directive under the authority of the commissioner that enacts a minimum age," Sandy Alderson, executive vice president for baseball operations in the commissioner's office, said yesterday at the annual general manager's meetings in Tucson.
The ministry's directive ordered government authorities at all levels to check whether companies within their jurisdiction that produce and store hazardous materials comply with safety regulations, especially that they keep a safe distance from residential areas and do not exceed storage limits.
That directive rests on legal authority our agency was granted by Congress through passing the Clean Air Act back in 1970.
The directive also gave the authority in handling such cases to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; Benedict was prefect of the congregation from 1982 until becoming pope in 2005.
From Hadith comes the Sunnah (literally, a "well-trodden path"—i.e., taken as precedent and authority or directive), to which the faithful conform in submission to the sanction that Hadith possesses and that legalists, on that ground, can enjoin.
However, Mr Johnson said he had ordered the directive because the fire authority's plans were unfit for purpose and unsustainable in budget terms".
