From Google AI

Route Step Marching:
Preparatory Command: "Route Step"
Command of Execution: "MARCH"
Execution: Upon the command "MARCH", soldiers take one more step at the prescribed cadence and then assume route step.
Key Features:
No cadence: Soldiers do not maintain a set marching pace or rhythm.
No silence: Talking is permitted, and soldiers can converse with each other.
Dress, cover, interval, and distance maintained: While not marching at attention, soldiers are still expected to maintain proper spacing and formation.
Obstacle avoidance: Movement is permitted to maneuver around obstacles as long as the established standards of dress, cover, interval, and distance are maintained.
Changing direction: Commanders can direct the lead element to change direction informally.
Resuming attention: To return to marching at attention, the command "Quick time, MARCH" is given, and the commander may count cadence for the first few steps.

You want us to march. You didn't specify which one.
The Army did an excellent route step. Semper Fi
