Alan Military Tactics

[Flavivs Aetivs]

With Goar and Sambida fighting together and alongside Aetius for years, it would have made sense to put Sambida in charge of Goar's Alans when Goar died. They would have respected Sambida as a leader and Sambida was loyal to Aetius, it also put the Alans in a better position to fend off Visigothic expansion northward if they were under one united group.
