Just look at it realistically and leave the words the book uses aside. In most situations it is very difficult to seperate the attack and hit actions. So, what happens here? The warlord sees the arrow leave the bow, going straight to your friend, and in these fractions of a second it takes to reach the target, he directs his ally to move 20 feet, placing him adjacent to the enemy? Obviously not(well, except if your ally is Flash, and your buddies members of JLA). I imagine the scene is a little different. The warlord sees that the ally is not paying attention to the enemy, who pulls an arrow from his quiver. You shout and disrupt the concetration of your enemy, alerting at the same time your ally, who moves next to the creature managing a hit, before he takes the shot.Maybe the choice of words the book uses doesn't allow the enemy to attack, but the DM should.</blockquote>
