That would be correct. Platoon Leaders will direct their men on the battlefield (submit their orders). You get a plan from the CO and implement it based on your understanding of what was told to you. Initially it would be OK to get extreme details (hex by hex move instructions) from higher BUT that is only until everyone starts to get a feel for how this will work. ASL is a simulation not a game. This means using real world tactics such as bounding overwatch and stuff like that is effective. One platoon moves, the other covers (opportunity fire). I believe the order submission forms are designed to allow some leeway in explaining "what" you want your unit to do.
