I was just wondering. If I make a line and then after I execute it I pick a division to do something different. How do I put that division back into the front line again so that it continues the operation?

You can just manually controll it. Human orders always beat the plans. When the order you gave has been completed the unit will go back to AI controll.

If a division is part of a batle plan, it will begin to execute this plan. If you give it a manual order, it will immediately follow this order, and once the order is finished, it will automatically start to follow the plan its still assigned to again. If you want a division to do nothing as long as you don't give manual orders, you simply don't assign it to a battle plan.

Being part of a battle plan does not mean they are always pushing forward as well, they might make pauses and wait for other troops to catch up, but of course, we have no idea how exactly it works. Manual orders will always override the automatic ones, and you can always just cancel all orders, whether automatic or manual, and make them do something else or nothing at all.
