Orders for your troops to follow. Press t when you have an army selected.
To be more precise: You select provinces, in some of which happens to be an army of yours.

And there are orders for the squads and for commanders seperatly.

By pressing "t" you get to the army setup screen. Next to the green minimaps there are the orders. Squads can only have one order (leftclick on the "click here to set battle orders"), commanders can have 5 single-turn orders (those above the line) and a following 'general' order.
e.g. (hold)(hold)attack nearest or (fireball)(fireball)(fireball)(fireball)(fireball) cast spells
