In independent nations it usually operates and is administered under the authority of St john council, acting through the Chief Commissioner; but subject to the eventual authority, normally exercised through the Commissioner-in-Chief,of the Grand Priory of the Order, which is the one ultimate bond of identity of the Brigade wherever it exists.
