I cannot see how you can KNOW that the commander KNOWS. Surely 'knows' is a metaphysical concept that shouldn't be used in the army (or the navy, for that matter -- not sure about the royal air force, because, to use Geary's term and description, "they are all a bit sissy")
He knows it in the same way that Mark Twain knew that Huck Finn and Jim went down a river on a raft.
