This is why the Battle of Hue City was so intense

One key item in Hue, which is a strength of US Forces not found in centralized commands like Russia is the following, exemplified by this quote from Naval Proceedings: "Instead of giving a detailed order, Hughes told Cheatham, "You do it any way you want." With orders like this, corporals, lance corporals, and privates first class found themselves acting as squad leaders and making the decisions needed to continue the counterattack. Because of the many casualties the Marines suffered in Hue, junior Marines often found themselves thrust into positions where they had to make tough decisions, well above their pay grades. With a decentralized command, they were able to make those decisions rapidly, maintaining continuity during the counterattack."
