Command from frontier leader of battalion ignored (5)
I believe the answer is:
order
'command' is the definition.
(I know that order is a type of command)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for order that I've seen before include "One may be tall if demanding" , "One of Great Lakes" , "Type of column" , "in which things are properly arranged?" , "peace" .)
