Note regarding change from Disambiguation[edit]

This page was noted as being Disambiguation. From all the links it is evident that all the links relate to US military matters and should be addressed by those with the expertise. The linking would seem to relate to a general topic about organisational structure within the US armed forces. -- billinghurst (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Major Command → Major command – Both of the live sources in the article use the capitalized versions in the list, but when actually discussing the unit structure, refer to "major commands" in the lowercase. This is also just analogous to other unit structures that similarly aren't capitalized, like squadron (aviation), wing (military unit), battalion, company (United States Army), etc. It isn't a proper noun. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 15:10, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support: This should be lower case according to Wikipedia style. Easy. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 21:28, 28 June 2023 (UTC) (change to merge)[reply]
Counter-proposal: Upmerge to Command (military formation). There is no intrinsic difference between large US Department of Defense commands and similar commands in other armed forces. The more abstract Command article can easily be expanded - it's very short. Buckshot06 (talk) 00:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: Per @Buckshot06 and taking a closer look. It seems List of major commands of the United States Air Force is an appropriate list and should be linked from Command (military formation), but the links to List of major commands of the United States Army and Naval Education and Training Command make no reference to "major commands". I first responded to the capitalization question, but the counter proposal above makes more sense. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 02:05, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
