what is an order?

Question

military question

Answer 1

It depends on what context you are talking about. It can be a directive from someone higher than you to perform a certain task or it can be a directive to report to a certain place for training, station, deployment etc. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

It is any directive, either written or oral, that tells a military member to perform a duty. It can be given by any officer or NCO that is higher in rank and has the effect of law.
As long as it is a legal order. No one is under any obligation to obey an illegal order.
It does not matter how the order is phrased. "Would you please take out the trash" has the same legal meaning as "I order you to take out the trash".

Answer 3

In militaries, a general order is a published directive, originated by a commander, and binding upon all personnel under his command, the purpose of which is to enforce a policy or procedure unique to his unit's situation which is not otherwise addressed in applicable service regulations, military law, or public law. A general order has the force of law; it is an offense punishable by court martial or lesser military court to disobey one. What makes it a general order (as opposed to a direct order), is that the actor is not explicitly named, nor precisely that (or whom) which is to be acted upon
