Order chip

An Order Chip is a form used within the United Stars Military of physically documenting a Service Member's current orders. Normally used only in special circumstances, such as when there might be a need to perform specific actions beyond the service member's current rank. Unless specifically mentioned on the Order Chip the Service Member's Security Clearance remains unchanged.

The Service Member's MITI always contains a copy of the Service Member's current orders as well.

Note
Depending on the mission, it's possible for an individual to have more than one set of orders that provide reduce ambiguaty and increase detail up to the Security Clearance  of the person requesting a copy of the orders.
