The adjective pertaining to a governor is gubernatorial, from the Latin root ''gubernare''.

They are often more responsible for administrative than operational matters, and in countries with conscript forces, often handle parts of the conscription cycle. Navies have also used a similar model, with organizations such as the United States Naval Districts. A number of navies in South America used naval districts at various points in time.

Regional commanders control and administer bases, logistics, and housing, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
