A non command unit will look for a higher up first. A command unit will try to rally itself first. So the platoon commander will try to rally himself even if in range of the company HQ. That's why it's important not to try and rally him until you're sure you don't need the rally attempts for his underlings.

It's also why I prefer not to have the company HQ in range of the forward fighting units. Those will look for ANY superior HQ to try and rally so you may end up seeing the company HQ used for non-critical rally attempts. But that's just for standard situations. If it's a critical sector then the HQ goes in for close rally support as just about every rally attempt will be important.
