The Order of the Anointed Arrow favors a flexible deployment strategy, with each Sister expected to be self sufficient, yet situationally aware enough to work alongside Imperial forces. The Anointers especially may operate independently and for long stretches of time without resupply. These elite Battle Sisters either fight alone or in small squads to dispense the Emperor's all seeing wrath upon the battlefield wherever it might be needed. Entire wars have been ended with a traitor commander or xenos warboss being unceremoniously pulverized by a single perfectly placed shot. In the absence of a clear objective that may topple the enemy, the Anointed Arrow will scout the enemy to collect intelligence and support friendly troops as best they can.

In contrast to the Argent Shroud from which they descend, the Anointed Arrow will often cooperate closely with the Imperial Guard and share critical intelligence with its officers, or even with the common soldiers in the field. Many lives have been saved when a timely warning has come over the vox announcing a trap ahead. The Anointed Arrow possess an unshakable will, and if they see the need, they will gladly sacrifice their lives to secure victory. However, this is balanced with a keen understanding that the Sisters may save many more lives in a drawn out war if they themselves make it out of a battle alive. The Order is thus not above withdrawing from a hopeless situation, to regroup and mount a counterattack when the time is right.

The Anointed Arrow do not have Sisters Repentia among their numbers. Not only are they ill suited to the preferred combat doctrine of the Order, but by not actively seeking death in battle, Saint Marsilia herself was fortunate enough to find salvation from her own myopic wrath, and rise to a higher calling. Those Sisters who stray from the tenets of the Order may be demoted or disciplined with menial service, until their superiors see fit to return them to the ranks. More egregious offenses such as cowardice or treachery is simply dealt with by summary execution, with the offender's ashes being denied a place among the honored martyrs.
