It depends on the military force in question. In many more primitve organizations, leadership went to those who could prove their prowess in combat, regardless of their other qualifications. In other systems, leadership was determined by social rank. And so on.Because the threat or situation the PCs are dealing with is not assumed to be unique. Even if there are 50 adventuring bands of various levels out and about, there may be 75 situations that may need handling at any given point in time. Further, not every adventuing band is going to be available for adventuring all the time. What about the down time when the party is busy scribing spells, crafting magic items and dealing with other administrative issues. Now the 50 adventuing bands out and about drops a few more notches.</blockquote>
