Yes, I agree that a chain of command is definitely necessary. In many cases the POTUS simply listens to his advisors and gives permission. He's not the proactive agent in the process. He has no military experience or knowledge, either tactically or strategically. The last one of those we had in the Whitehouse was probably Eisenhower.

It is almost a certainty that the US military did not act in a rogue manner.
