-The Nature of an Order and of a Command-

It is necessary to understand the difference between an order and a command.

When an officer gives a man an order to perform a certain task, the officer considers that the man has intelligence and initiative. He gives an order in such a way that the man is allowed some discretion in the manner in which the details of the order will be executed.

But when an officer gives a man a command, the man is directed to perform a certain act in a certain definite way.

The man is allowed no discretion in the manner in which the details will be executed.

An order contains no details of the way a task shall be accomplished, but a command does.
