As any member of Command Staff, you have access to Orders which can be used to buff nearby troops with helpful effects. Using one causes you to shout out a unique phrase over the radio (Provided you have one). After giving an Order, there is a cooldown period until you can give another one. You can give Orders using the action buttons on the top-left of the screen.
Orders effects are influenced by your Leadership skill, which increases both the effect and range.
