Did a quick search and could not find anything.
This game looks and sounds amazing. If the audio commands work well this could well move the RTS arena forward.
Here is a snippet of text talking about unit control (see here for full article: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/strategy/tomclancy...
'' We really started getting into EndWar's combat,when we tried out the voice-command interface via the standard Xbox 360 headset. You'll simply hold down the right trigger and then speak your orders. The keywords are all lifted from the same nested command menus you can use manually with the controller, and those menus will expand as you provide your commands verbally, in case you aren't sure of the next proper term to say. For example, if your tanks are in the first slot on the unit bar and you want to move them to the foxtrot capture point, you'd simply say, "unit one, move to foxtrot." If you've spotted your opponent's gunships coming in and you want to set your antiair-equipped transports (in the third-unit slot) against them, you'd say, "unit three, attack hostile one." You can also create colored groups out of multiple units, so you could assign all of your foot soldiers to the red group and then say, "red team, move to delta" to pull them all out of battle. Or if your forces are grouped around a point where the enemy has just targeted a WMD strike, you can quickly move them all by saying, "calling all units, retreat." ''

DO NOT buy the associated novel. It's the most pants thing I've ever read. Ever.
Ignore the name Clancy anywhere near it, it's pure marketing.
I only read non-fiction anyway. If you want a good war book get 'Sniper One' by SGT Danny Mills. Out now in all good books shops and a good old read if you like that sort of thing. Alternativly you could read Vulcan 607 which is another great tale of actual war heroics : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vulcan-607-Rowland-White/d...Ignore the name Clancy anywhere near it, it's pure marketing.
