""The president of the United States is the commander in chief, he’s involved in every aspect of government and he can make decisions and do things and give orders as he deems appropriate," he said. Spencer said that if he receives official orders -- not in the form of a tweet -- the disciplinary process against Gallagher will cease."

It seems Spencer has his head screwed on straight.

A tweet is a lawful. It is given my someone who has the authority to issue you orders, and it is to do a lawful thing in his power to order and your power to perform. If you want to send a note to SecDef asking if Trump meant it - meanwhile I am proceeding to act on it, then by all means do so. But you might get an invitation from the White House to get your lawful orders in person, and it could involve a cardboard box and the picture of your wife on your desk.

Perhaps, but if he plans to proceed contrary to what clearly appears a valid utterance by Trump, as the article indicates, it is not screwed on very tight.

It behooves Spencer, at a minimum, to have one of his people contact the WH for confirmation and any clarification he may need.
