Military order (instruction)

An officer of the Presidential Guard of Zimbabwe giving military commands during a parade.

A military command or order is a binding instruction given by a senior rank to a junior rank in a military context. Not all senior ranks in all military forces have the right to give an order to all lower ranks.[1]

  1. ^ George Breckenridge Davis, A Treatise on the Military Law of the United States, 1913 1584776501 p385 "A staff officer has, except by assignment, no right to give a military order to an officer of the line ; if he should do so without stating that he did so in the name of a superior to the line officer, such order would be invalid."
