Guideline
"Guideline" is the NATO reporting name for the Soviet SA-2 surface-to-air missile.
A guideline is any document that aims to streamline particular processes according to a set routine. By definition, following a guideline is never mandatory (protocol would be a better term for a mandatory procedure). Guidelines are an essential part of the larger process of governance.
