In the US...
For the commands like "attention" "halt" the preparatory command is the label
for the type of group that it is; squad, platoon, company, etc... We have a
few of these in klingon.
wey...Qamchu'!
wey...mev!
Forward...March!
'et...ghoS!
There are different ways to change direction. The normal one where everyone
follows along around a corner, the command is "Column right...March!"
(everyone's marching in a long column remember.)
tut nIH...ghoS!
I certainly don't expect klingons to use phrases similar to the US; but I
thought I would throw this in (since I'm one of very few that actually
remembers these commands after Basic).
Canon from the movie:
[captain raises his hand in preparation for the order to fire]
SSS... baH
Ready... Fire!
This goes along with what SuStel said about using SuH.
