marching
Soldiers moving together
Marching is walking with regular, measured steps, typically in formation or with purpose.
Soldiers do it in parades, protesters in demonstrations.
The marching band led the procession.
Marching orders are instructions to move out, or figuratively, a dismissal: She gave him his marching orders.
