In both cases, your Commander needs to be in a province with a laboratory; you will only be able to transfer gems and magical items between commanders otherwise.

This a major tactic for carrying supply items (work for the whole province, even if on a sneaking unit) and for ferrying gems to mages at the frontline.
You may 'deposit' some gems on one of the sneaking food carriers, so the mages don't use them all up in one turn. (They are much less prone to this with the latest Versions of Dom2, though)
