varname=&value;

Generally speaking, yes. However, OP's assignment of the only pointer he is using is correct:

struct Command *currentCommand;
// ...
currentCommand = command_list_X;

command_list_X is an array of "struct Command". Assigning to a pointer using an array (of the same base type) is perfectly legitimate and will simply result in the pointer pointing to the base of the array.
