These hotkeys are specifically for use when commanding your land units. These keys are only active when you have units from a single army selected and the battleplan interface is visible (see image to the right).

Key	Order	Description
K	Exercise	Clicking the Exercise button or pressing the K key K will tell all of the divisions in the command to commence the exercise order. This order cancels any battleplans but not existing movement orders. Exercising troops have very low Organization, so should be kept out of combat. Reference Exercise for more detail.
Shift + K	Exercise until trained	Using ⇧Shift+K (or ⇧Shift+LMB) lets troops train until the reach the regular experience level and then stop on an individual basis.
None	Naval Invasion	Clicking the Naval Invasion button after selecting your divisions will highlight all potential launch ports as a turquoise diagonal stripe pattern. After clicking on the desired launch port, it will become a highlighted blue diagonal stripe pattern. Then right click on a highlighted green diagonal stripe pattern coastal province that you wish to invade. The highlighted green diagonal stripe pattern coastal province will turn to a highlighted orange diagonal stripe pattern if done correctly. Once the plan is activated, the invasion will begin to prepare and reserve convoys from your country's pool. Reference Naval Invasion for more detail.
None	Paratroop Order	Clicking the Paratroop Order button, after selecting your paratroop divisions, will highlight all potential "takeoff point" air bases as a turquoise diagonal stripe pattern (if transport planes are based there) or as a yellow diagonal stripe pattern (if no transport planes are based there).

After activating by clicking the Spearhead button or pressing the Shift + X key ⇧ShiftX, right click and drag to draw the spearhead line. Compared to the Offensive Line, the Spearhead will aggressively try to take all provinces that were there when the order was first painted. Spearheads are preferred when you need to do overlapping encirclements, cutting off the enemy, or for more controlled, smaller thrusts into enemy territory. Spearheads tend to be narrow thrusts that can be especially useful for armored divisions. Reference Spearhead for more detail. Note: The Spearhead Order is only available with the Together for Victory expansion .
C	Fallback Line	Click the Fallback Line button or press the C key C, then right click and drag to create a defensive line anywhere (not just on a border).

When you are done assigning, click the Garrison Area button or hit V V again to exit this mode. The selected divisions will spread out among the states and occupy cities, airbases, and naval bases. This is generally best used for guarding coastlines or important points in rear areas vs paradrops. Note that unlike other orders, if a Garrison order is assigned to any part of an army, the rest of the army cannot be assigned any other order without first removing the garrison order. It is an exclusive order. Therefore, an army with a garrison order should only include units that will be assigned to that order. Adding any new units to the army automatically has them join the garrison order. Reference Garrison Area for more detail.
Ctrl	Divisions Assignment Mode	Click the Divisions Assignment Mode button or while holding control ^Ctrl, left click on a battle plan to assign the currently selected units to that plan. Alternatively, you can right click on any battleplan while holding control ^Ctrl to select all units currently assigned to that plan.

Caution: Disbanding surrounded (encircled) units will permanently eliminate the manpower and permanently destroy the equipment.
None	Unassign Units	Click the Unassign Units button to remove the selected divisions from the army. Note that this action preserves the divisions for reassignment to a new or different army.
None	Consolidate	Click the Consolidate button to merge the selected divisions into one unit. This action can be used to take multiple understrength, damaged divisions and create stronger, full strength divisions with no loss of experience. The excess manpower is returned to the recruitable population pool and the excess equipment is returned to the stockpile. Note that this action can only be performed on divisions having the same template.
None	Change Division Template	Click the Change Division Template button to change the selected divisions to a different template from a pull-down menu. Reference Division designer.
S	Select Half	Click the Select Half button or press the S key S to deselect half of the currently selected units as evenly as possible, but does not remove them from an army to which they belong. Press multiple times to continue to split the selection in half (round up). Can be used to select a single unit from a stack. For example: Select a stack of 9 infantry, hit Select Half once (deselects 4, leaving 5 selected). Hit Select Half again (deselects 2, leaving 3 selected). Hit Select Half again (deselects 1, leaving two selected). Hit Select Half a 4th time and there remains only 1 unit selected. Attempting to Select Half of a single unit results in no action. This can be used to quickly grab a stack, hit S 5 or 6 times to get a single unit very quickly and send it on a new mission.
H	Hold	Click the Hold button or press the H key H to order a unit to hold position, effectively canceling any move or attack orders currently assigned to the unit. This will not cancel their assignment to a front line, so if a hold order is given to a unit which is currently being moved due to a battleplan, it will hold only for a moment before immediately resuming their part in the battleplan. See next section.
B	Strategic Redeployment	Click the Strategic Redeployment button or press the B key B before giving divisions a movement command, this will tell the divisions to utilize the strategic redeployment command meaning they will move at a speed of 10 km/h + up to 10 km/h extra, depending on the state's infrastructure.

Shift	Waypoint	Like many other strategy games, holding shift ⇧Shift while right clicking sets a series of waypoints for selected units. They will choose the best path to get to each waypoint in succession. This allows units to navigate around problem areas like enemies, bad terrain, or low supply zones. Note: View the full route to check for hazards on the way.
Ctrl	Support Attack	With a unit selected, hold down control ^Ctrl and right click on an existing battle to "support" that battle. Supporting a battle will allow the unit to participate in the battle, but it will *not* leave its province and enter the battle hex upon conclusion. This can be very valuable to preserve the integrity of the front line.
Ctrl + H	Remove from Assigned Battleplan	This key combination ^Ctrl H removes the currently selected divisions from their current battleplan without removing them from their current army. This is the only known way to remove multiple divisions from an assigned battleplan without giving them a new battleplan. When they are removed, they become independent divisions within the army that can be given direct orders separately , or assigned to another battleplan. Note that this will not work for units that are part of an army that has any garrison order.
