Not correct. cf the United States Constitution, specifically section 8 "Powers of Congress"
"To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces"
The chief of the Executive Branch (the President) is the Commander in Chief of the military forces. However the establishment of the rules for the military are not part of the Executive Branch but rest in the Legislative branch.
If these four congresshumans can garner enough support, they can overrule the General's order.
