You might be thinking, why do you need a commander? The simple reason being someone must take responsibility for strategy. If not, NO ONE WILL!
So what must a commander do? He or she must not assume he's better than the others. In fact, his purpose is now to protect his minions and lead them to victory. Failing that, he will send them to their deaths.
The Commander must always survey the tactical information on the battlefield, process the new information as the battle rages on, and make decisions that will allow his team to achieve a decisive advantage.
Example: If Team A sees that Team B is rushing, Team A's commander must prepare an effective response: fall back and defend? Flank? Counter Rush? Try a high risk outside flag capture? If you read the first line in this paragraph carefully, you would have seen that the amount of TIME for the commander to make a decision is about 1 SECOND. That's right.

So you can see, it's not easy being a commander. But someone must take his place, and be a light for his team. Is it you? Commanders are taking high risks. They will be celebrated for superior tactics in victory. Or be humiliated and blamed for defeat.
If you're not a commander, then what are you supposed to do? A trooper is supposed to do 3 things:
Relay important information to the commander (eg. If you see the opposition is flanking left, tell your commander!); Carry out Commander Commands without hesitation; and use all your skills, weapons, and training, to stay alive! (or in the case of NERFTOUR, not get tagged).
In a NERFTOUR team, the the value of the whole is more than the sum of it's parts. If your team functions as a coherent and coordinated unit, you will win NERFTOUR.

These might help too. ;-)
