Swedish military doctrine also empowers commanders to take independent action on when to engage, since it is to be assumed that in the event of war the political and military leadership would be either taken out or infiltrated.

That's one of the reasons the Swedish led Operation Bøllebank could engage the Serbian army, whereas the Dutch were forced to ask their leadership for permission to engage and never got it, leading to the Srebrenica massacre.
