give orders

"The women can't discipline soldiers and they can't give orders; they can only ask politely, and that's not the way an army runs," says Mulley.

He tried to give orders to media outlets.

Pilots board the ships before they enter the local waterways and take navigational control, meaning they give orders for the ship’s speed and direction.

Lula has rejected that claim, saying his government does not give orders to the federal police.

Maybe women in organized crime are rising up to give orders instead of just taking them.
