All Command Staff and assigned Squad Leaders 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. After giving an Order, there is a one-minute cooldown period until you can give another one.
Orders effects are influenced by your Leadership skill, which increases both the effect and range.
