Unity of command is a managerial technique that is built around a single individual in command, with any number of subordinates under her command.
A chain of command is a command hierarchy with multiple levels of command responsibility.
Chain of command involves a large procedure where there are different levels to be overcome for implementing the command whereas unity of command is where all individuals stick to one command and shared opinion is considered.
Chain of command and unity of command are good and bad in terms of their implementation depending on different organizational ranges.

AGREE WITH MR HIRON
"Unity of command" simply means that each person in an incident command structure reports to a single superior. The number of such direct-reports is governed by the "span of control." "Chain of command" refers to the formal communications and authority from top to bottom and bottom to top within the organization, where you can ONLY get instructions/orders from your supervisor and you, in turn, only have direct authority over people who report to you directly.
