ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS.—a. General.—Administrativeorders cover supply, evacuation, and other administrativedetails of operations. They are issued under circumstanceswhere the instructions regarding these matters are too voluminous to be embodied In paragraph 4 of the field order, orwhen a field order is not being published and at the sametime it Is necessary to publish administrative Instructions tothe command. Administrative orders may be oral, dictated,or written, and in either complete or fragmentary form.When complete administrative orders are issued they usuallyaccompany field orders; they may be issued, however, undercircumstances which require administrative changes butwhich do not require field orders. Standing operating procedure may be employed to eliminate, so far as practicable,items other than those pertaining to the tactical and geographic set-up of the particular operation.b. By whom prepared..—The administrative order is prepared by G-4 in cooperation with G-l in divisions or higherechelons. Those parts that pertain to other staff sections arecoordinated and transmitted to G-4 by the chiefs of suchstaff sections.c. Basis.—Administrative orders are based on—(1) Administrative orders of higher authority.(2) The commander's initial and supplementary decisions.(3) Approved recommendations of special staff officers.d. How and when issued.—The technique of preparingcomplete written field orders (par. 71) applies generally tothe preparation of complete written administrative orders.e.
