Currently, the idea and concept of military's with officers, NCOs, and chains of command comes from the West. Many nations use localized terms taken from their own history but the origins obviously remain in Europe. Considering how popular anti-Western sentiment has been with many revolutionary governments, have any established nations or revolutionary groups ever tried to completely remove all European elements from their military institutions

Western military tradition is the most effective means of waging interstate conflict. Adopting an inferior standard would be suicidal for a nation state.

Tangentially related, but I think it would be interesting to see non-western forms of policing/criminal justice be adopted though. I suspect they could actually be viable in a modern world.

Bruh.

Militaries while slow to change due to institutional inertia are one of the few sectors that prioritize efficiency over everything else. They look for what works and try to learn from others mistakes, they have all copied western systems of command because those are the systems the west used to conquer the world, it works.
The largest military lacking any kind of NCO system is the Russians and we are seeing their preformance reflect this.

Food for thought, but maybe its more problematic that Russia has a top down approach to small unit leadership rather than simply having no NCO corps. An ad hoc approach to small unit leadership that empowers leaders based on a mixture and expertise and consensus may be even more effective than that.

Do you think that the concept of NCOs, officers, and a chain of command is a uniquely Western one OP?

>positions of authority in militaries are a western invention
facepalm
