I've been reading up on Battlefield 4 tactics, and read that orders from commanders and squad leaders are often ignored. I often experience sensory overload while playing Battlefield 4, and can't recall ever seeing an alert to say that I've been issued an order, though I have noticed dotted and solid lines pointing to flags. I want to be a better player, but don't know how this system works. My web searches for screenshots or detailed information have been unsuccessful.
How do I know when a commander or squad leader has issued an order, and how do I acknowledge the order?

Say you are playing Conquest. When someone issues an order you will see something like this over the flag identifier:
It will be an attack order on an enemy flag or objective and a defend on your own flag or objective. So you will see the symbol when you look towards the flag/objective in first person with the identifier (letter) with those marks around it.
Additionally in the mini-map view you can see attack/defend orders that look like this one:
Objectives are not available in every game mode so you will not see attack or defend objectives in those modes. One for instance is Team Death Match.
