It all made sense to me until I read the Company Commander rules.
"Resolve the effect of the first order before issuing the next one." To me it implies to use the order immediately, because all orders have to be issued at the start of the shooting phase.
Have I missed sth?

For most of the orders the effect is not actually an attack though, it is something like "reroll ones this shooting phase" or "guns become rapid fire 2". So resolving the effect doesn't actually involve shooting.

The "effect" of an order is to buff the unit, it doesn't always cause the unit to immediately shoot. The only orders that happen immediately are "Move! Move! Move!" and "Fix Bayonets!", because they tell you to immediately do something.
