field command
Tactical combat directive
A field command is a military directive issued to forces deployed in an operational area, as opposed to orders from headquarters or administrative centers.
The term emphasizes command exercised where action happens—on the ground, in the field.
In computing, field commands are instructions that operate on specific data fields within a record or document: The field command extracted all entries from the date column.
