travel orders
Explanation:
From digging around in Google, I have found out that these are forms completed by personnel requiring permission to be absent from work to attend work-related events (courses etc.). They are also expense claim forms and are ratified by the school principal.
The term was originally used in the context of military travel.

agree  Sheila Wilson: Here, Johaina is probably right - extra-duty assignments
6 hrs
disagree  Tarik Boussetta: To my knowledge, it's not an extra-duty! it's part of one's duty. I may be working in my office in the morning but in the afternoon there's a site I should visit ( part of my work) and which is located out of the city.I need an "ordre de mission"

orders


Explanation:
This is what I found on the net and I also found "outside duty" which does not seem to be appropriate.

In that case outside duty would be appropriate ????. This is the translation given by "granddictionnaire.com"

directives


Explanation:
I would agree with mission statement in a broader context describing a business or organized entity. In this case the 'ordres de missions' refer to individual workers so i thik directives is best.
