Taking command requires serious cojones. The Basic Commander is stepping up and putting his rep. on the line as the leader of a team. He has a lot of learning to do. Hopefully, his men will have his back while he figures it out.
Over time, the Basic Commander will develop a sense of the field, as well as a willingness to send his guys into a tough spot that's worth fighting for. Sooner or later, the Commander will learn that there's no substitute for good communication, including a system of radios.
He'll carry light gear and hold himself back from the heaviest fighting. A dead Commander is a Commander who let his team down, so he stays in the fight without letting himself get taken out.
At first, if the Commander can stay alive and keep his team on the same page, he's doing all right. Hang in there and it'll all come together.
