trooping
Walking in groups
Trooping is moving together in a group, usually walking: The children came trooping in from recess.
The word suggests orderly or purposeful movement, often with a hint of resignation or routine.
In British military tradition, Trooping the Colour is the annual ceremony where regiments parade their flags before the sovereign.
