The above is one way to do it but uses quite a few orders.  If you own both
the forces concerned, you do not need to use an Accept external transfer
order.  That is for accepting transfers from other players.  If you own
both forces, then do it this way:

L5 Extract Forces order in the Force manipulation phase
B8 Appoint slot commanders in the GBO phase

Just two oders, or three if you need to appoint more than three slots.
I recommend that everyone reads the L5 Extract Forces order very
carefully.  It is a very powerful order.  It will extract characters as
well as soldiers.  Both forces can be owned by the same player and
the target force can be activated on the map already as long as it is
in the same province.

I don't know details of pro's and cons of crossing dragon lake but the only
ways that you will get your party across are with a boat or using teleport
location.  Convert a force to a village, put your characters in and teleport
it across.  Of course, you need a 30+ arcane users for that.  I don't reckon
that the SA will work as there are ways of doing in in the game.
