I'd be sad if Vanguard reporting wasn't a prior requirement before any action. It would be nice to get confirmation on the opposite, though that is implied.

The vanguard leads the foot of the army into the battlefield and is considered a position of honor reserved for the bravest and most loyal vassals. I'm thinking its a benign reference to Vanguard's front-line action in portability support, though terminology common to medieval warfare is weird.
