In war , Why do they say ‘ fire at will’. I mean what did will do?

Poor will
Watching a random war film and there is a battle raging , and you hear the main character say ‘ fire at will’ I mean. … poor will 🤨. Why not fire at frank or fire at Steve …. In fact why not fire at Doris? No one said that a woman can’t be on the battlefield?

Well since Sun Tzu invented war, my guess is that Will cheated on Sun Tzus daughter or something and ever since he has had it out for Will.
