Understanding the professional jargon in which orders are often given does, as does understanding the implied parameters, exceptions, and areas where initiative is expected to be applied which derive from the legal, regulatory, doctrinal, and traditional context in which the orders are given.

In other words, 'part of the other applicable skill'.

Sounds like exactly what Savoir-Faire (Military) is supposed to be used for.

Not exactly. Savoir Faire is an influence skill not a skill neccessary for operations. Savoir Fair (Military) is used to show respect (or disprespect) a person in the military. This, seemingly trivial aspect: respect, is communicated in almost every action, in the arrangement of positions, how a salute is carried out, how to address a superior or subordinate officer, how not to eyeball someone, and how to "influence" their reaction.

On a successful savoir fair roll, you influence someone's reaction not communicate a complex technical Idea.

It is in the same way Savoir Fair Business does not give the ability to understand complex business jargon.

Jargon is part of a Technical aspect and not a social aspect.
