The Astra Militarum are a blunt instrument of violence, wrought on a galactic scale. They serve both as a flesh-and-bone shield for the Emperor’s realm, and as an unstoppable sledgehammer with which to crush its foes. There is precious little subtlety to their way of war, just the raw application of force, yet they have served the Imperium well for ten thousand years.

Raised and trained to instil unwavering obedience, officers of the Imperial Guard command authority and respect, and issue orders with imperious bellows that cut through the clamour of war.
If your Army Faction is ASTRA MILITARUM, OFFICER with this ability can issue Orders. Each OFFICER datasheet will specify how many Orders it can issue in a battle round and which units are eligible to receive those Orders. Each time an OFFICER model issues an Order, select one of the Orders below, then select one eligible friendly unit within 6" of that OFFICER model to issue it to.
Until the start of your next Command phase, the unit you selected is affected by that Order. Unless otherwise stated, a unit can only be affected by one Order at a time (any Order subsequently issued to that unit replaces the current one). Orders cannot be issued to Battle-shocked units, and if a unit being affected by an Order becomes Battle-shocked, that Order ceases to affect that unit.
Only ASTRA MILITARUM models gain the benefit of an Order issued to their unit.
