Perhaps one approach would be to allow the Colonel to take over in a figurehead type position - they think they're in charge, but the Captain still holds the reins.
If the Colonel wants the unit to move to another location, and the Captain disagrees, I'm sure she can find dozens of "problems" preventing such an action - lack of adequate fuel, broken down vehicles, sick/injured crewmen vital to the smooth operation of combat vehicles, etc, etc...
The less the Colonel actually knows about armoured operations the better this would work.
If they do happen to have armoured knowledge and/or experience, then falling back on the written orders idea is definitely the way to go. If the orders contain problematic info, such as deadlines, expiry dates, etc, then Opsec could be called into play - does the Colonel have the necessary clearance to even view the orders?
