From what I remember from original manual its some kind of "guard move" where you could use it to - for example click on your harvester and your units would follow it and defend it - you can see AI doing it in red alert in skirmish a lot.
I wouldn't say it's superior to RA2, but RA3 is shit and only worthwhile for Tim Curry cheese.
You're welcome.
Have you played MP/SP in RA3, C&C3, RA2 and C&C TibSun? If you have, I am legit curious how you can defend TibSun. We're talking about a game that came out later than Starcraft or Total Annihilation: and it's essentially inferior to both. But we're not talking about other RTS franchises, and I'm not asking this disingenuously: describe in your words how Tiberian Sun is superior to its direct second-gen competitor (Red Alert 2) and how it's superior in gameplay and mission design to C&C3 and RA3. I'm not asking about ambience and tone (it wins, unarguably, as RA3 is shlock and C&C3 is mediocre).
I'm honestly asking to defend your position: I can easily remember the problems of both C&C3 and RA3, but they're essentially nice if somewhat barebones RTS, and in particular RA3's expansion never went down well to me. I won't include Generals (unarguably the most successful MP C&C of "pseudo contemporary" times or the Dune series, because they're too different).
Explain in your words why Tiberian Sun is superior to RA2 , to RA3 and to C&C3. I'll be waiting.
Seriously, I am stuck at some of those missions (in medium difficulty). Some are insane.

I am not mentioning the current console ones (easier than base game) but the Expansion ones. The second or third GDI one where you have a de facto timer for instance before a nuke ends your base (or at least the main construction yard you cannot rebuild) is particularly brutal.
When playing GDI Orcas are you friends in any mission that lets you make them.
IN this mission, the NOD has literally clusters of SAM sites, and you don't have the time to build many pads before the nuke hits.
I'm with Dayyalu here. TibSun wins the atmosphere & aesthetics contest pretty hard when it comes to the C&C series, but gameplay wise it's borderline broken and unfinished.
Also, covert ops are hilarious, except for the ones that are just total bullshit (Deceit). My favourite two are probably Cloak and Dagger (deploy MCV inside enemy base and wreck it from within) and the one whose name I forgot but has your base surrounded on all sides by terrible rape mobs.
After dropping a nuke on one of them, clearing it out and realising that wiping any mob triggers the rest something vicious, on reload I managed to get one of the mammoths into "MUST KRUSH INFANTRY" mode with a bunch of riflemens, who proceeded to take it on a wild run in the south of the map for the next 15 minutes, giving me the time to cap the GDI base, make some obelisks and lure the rest of the rapemobs into them
And when all that remained was the mammoths and medtanks (they refused to budge), all it took was some concrete, and a bunch of sold buildings to repair it continuously.
This is how warfare is meant to be waged.
