Army General said ‘shoot now’ to the soldier. Here, the Army General and the soldier both are pointing their gun or watching something or someone and waiting for the right moment to shoot. Both of them know what they are doing. So, assumption 1 which says that the soldier knows where and what to shoot is implicit.
Assumption 2 is not implicit because without fighting skills no one can reach to a position of Army General.

Hence only assumption 1 is implicit.
