Difference between Have someone at one’s command and Have someone under one’s command

have someone at one’s command—have people who are ready to obey one’s orders:

  • The king had now at his command a body of Janissaries ready to carry out his personal will.

have someone under one’s command—command people under the authority conferred by official position:

  • Kluge now had under his command all the German armies in France.
