2: Order the 58th to withdraw.

1 to 3: Fraser, order the 58th to withdraw.

3: Yes sir.

I don't understand this command hierachy:

Similarly, an officer is usually expected to give orders only to his or her direct subordinate, even if it is just to pass an order down to another service member lower in the chain of command than said subordinate.

Especially in this scene, isn't command hierachy too unproductive and redundant? I can understand if the Col and Maj weren't standing together side-by-side, but here they are.

I'm uncertain of 1's identity. I'm guessing from IMDB "Col. Stewart" played by Peter Tobin.
