This article is about a type of military order. For information about standing order as a type of payment method see standing order (banking). For information about parliamentary standing orders, see Parliamentary procedureA standing order is a general order of indefinite duration. It remains in effect until modified or rescinded. Standing orders are most often issued by military commanders to their troops.Standing orders are necessarily general and vague since the exact circumstances for execution occur in the future under unknown conditions. For example, in most military agencies there is a standing order for enlisted men to salute officers. The officers are required by the same law to return the salute to the enlisted person; however, the name of each enlisted man is not explicitly named in the order, nor is the name of each officer, nor is the exact time which the salute should occur (although circumstances may be, such as when the officer passes). Included with this standing order is that ALL military personnel enlisted and Office alike, MUST salute a wearer of the Congressional Medal of Honor first, even if the wearer of the CMOH is a private.
