I've made clarifications to the manual hope it helps. It now reads.
7.6. Elite Units
Elite units receive a bonus over their national morale (9.1.4). Axis elite units are pre-designated, while Soviet elite units must meet
certain conditions in order to be designated Guard units (7.6.1).
Units attached to Soviet elite HQs (Guards and Shock Armies) may also receive a +1 bonus to their leader's admin rating (7.6.2).
7.6.1 Creation of Soviet Guards Ground Units
Under certain conditions, Soviet combat, support, and corps and army (but not airborne or air) HQ units may become guards units.
Soviet Rocket and Heavy Tank units get automatic Guards status. Soviet Tank and Mechanized Corps that are broken down into
brigades cannot gain guards status until rebuilt.
When a unit achieves guards status its TOE will change to the appropriate Guards TOE, its name and number will change to reflect its
guards status and it will immediately gets +10 increase to the units national moral.
7.6.3. Soviet Guards and Shock Army Admin Bonus
Soviet non-guards units directly attached to a Guards Army HQ get a +1 to their leader's admin rating provided the headquarters unit is
within its command limits.
Soviet non-guards units directly attached to a Shock Army HQ get a +1 to their leader's admin rating.
These admin bonuses exist only as long as the unit is directly attached to the headquarters unit and they never apply to guards units.
