The above chain of command shows rank priority with the leader being at the top going down.
You must follow orders from a person who is a higher rank that yourself, unless you feel that the orders are a violation of the UFDF rules or are morally wrong,

then you have the right to refuse orders and must immediately contact the clan CO or XO with a full report of the situation.

Two persons of equal rank do not have any priority ranking except with the following exceptions:

One of those persons is a FC member, or one of those persons is the dept head / Game Commander

There are exceptions to the chain of command no one can order any person to reveal something that is not to do with UFDF or the online UFDF community.

No person can order another to do anything which is direct violation of a treaty without the permission of the FC.
No person can order another to violate an order of a superior officer.
Any violations of any of these directives will result in an immediate reprimand and possible court martial depending in the seriousness of the offence
