The Command was a Women's Professional Lacrosse League (WPLL) professional women's field lacrosse team. They have played in the WPLL since the 2018 season. In the 2018 season, the five teams in the WPLL played in a barnstorming format, with all five teams playing at a single venue, and the Command were the inaugural champions.
After cancelling the 2020 season in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the league announced on August 6, 2020, that it would be closing down.{{Cite web |title=Women’s Professional Lacrosse League Closes, Opportunity Awaits Players in Athletes Unlimited |url=https://www.insidelacrosse.com//article/women-s-professional-lacrosse-league-closes-opportunity-awaits-players-in-athletes-unlimited/56738 |access-date=2025-02-09 |website=www.insidelacrosse.com}}
