Command Military
What is the technical term for a military officer's last command?
What do you call the last command or order a higher military officer gives his subordinates that has more importance over all other orders? Like if a commander dies in battle, aren't his last orders suppose to be what his soldiers carry out no matter what? What do you call that? What are the exceptions and rules for it?
What you are referring to is known as the "Commanders Intent".
If a Commander (let's say for discussions sake a Rifle Cmpany Commander) was to be KIA during an operation, the XO (Executive Officer, the second in command. For a Rifle Company it is usually a 1LT) would continue the operation utilizing the Commanders Intent from the Operations Order.
The Commanders Intent is a concise description of how the Commander wants the operation to be conducted and most importantly how he wants it to conclude (the Company's disposition, actions with units to the left, right, front and rear, effects on the enemy etc.)
