Okay, so what would you say are appropriate "uncommanded" actions? 
Perhaps
separated into QD levels--for instance, being QD8 Marines might allow
"assault through ambush" as a battle drill, but QD4 Heathen Mob would be
limited to "flee".

The other thing I want to think about taking into account is what
someone,
probably Dupuy, called "forced posture changes"...eg if you're moving
forward and take effective fire, you have a chance of being stopped.  Or
if
you see an enemy fleeing, you have a chance of moving to Pursuit
posture,
even if your CO wants you to stay put.
