61. An order from a superior, directing a junior to perform a specific task would not be in the memorandum format as presented. Instead, it would use the USAF standard internal memo format with left hand justification as follows: FROM: Lt Col Killian, Richard B. (space) SUBJECT: Annual Physical Examination (Flight) (space) TO: 1Lt Bush, George W. Documents that are titled as MEMORANDUM are used only for file purposes, and not for communications.

Also, when I was in the service (pre-1970), I don't recall phrases like 'Your are ordered to report ...".
Rather (no pun intended), the order just said "You will report ..."
And as noted above, an "order" wouldn't be in a Memorandum.

It seems like the word "ordered" was used to support their argument that Bush "disobeyed an order".
