Use Transfer Orders on the howitzer to retreat the crew and free some population cap. This is useful, for example, if you have built or captured an immobile howitzer that can no longer reach the front lines.

Use Transfer Orders to remove any unit from your army. You may find yourself, at certain points of the campaign, unable to build more units or reinforce squads because you have reached your population cap. When you use the ability to dispatch these squads a message will appear on the screen, 'Order 227 enacted! Commissar dispatched to HQ!' This Commissar will execute any infantry squads that are retreated for the next 60 seconds. As you advance further into the map, the spawn points of the free squads will move closer to the front. This will allow you to conserve manpower and to keep your fighting units at the front lines, instead of retreating them to base to reinforce. Use this ability to reinforce weapon crews, veteran infantry squads, and expensive-to-reinforce squads like Guards Rifle Infantry and Shock Troopers. The free squads you receive all have the Merge ability. Finally, you will be able to call in Penal Battalions that come equipped with better rifles, can throw explosive satchel charges, and may be upgraded with flamethrowers. As you gain experience during the mission, these will be replaced by Frontoviki squads that can be upgraded with PPSh submachine guns. In most missions in the campaign, you will have the option to call in infantry squads for free.
