In any hierarchical structure, each person takes orders from his or her immediate superior who is answerable to his or her immediate superior, and so on until you get to the person who is the ultimate authority. This is called the chain of command. Disregarding the chain of command can mean either failing to obey the commands of your immediate superior or leaping a level and taking orders from someone who is not your immediate superior or giving them to someone who is not your immediate inferior.

1 The line of authority that extends from the upper levels of management to the lowest levels of the organization is called the chain of command. The chain of command clarifies who reports to whom within an organization, ensuring clear communication and decision-making processes. It establishes a hierarchy where information and instructions flow systematically from top to bottom.
Advantages of a short chain of command?
Messages can be sent faster, as there fewer people to pass the message on to. The message will be more exact than if the chain of command were shorter, as there are fewer people to mix up the message. The message can be read fast, and so the message can be replied fast, and the rate of response is much quicker than that of a long-chain of command. and so on.

What does the term chain of command mean?
It's a military term used to refer to checking with the people in charge of you. In most cases it's your first line, section NCO (for us non-combat arms guys) the 1SG, then SGM. But in some cases chain of command can apply to the task rather than the person. (Also if people say something about chain of command, they are 7/10 times just blowing you off.)
