Your are probably talking about "Drill Commands".
Like "left face!" "Forward, March!" "Present Arms!"
Or are you talking about the song-like rhyme that they repeat as they are marching?
That's called a Cadence.
Something like this:
"Momma, momma, can't you see? Look what the Army's done to me. ...
They took away my faded jeans; Now I'm wearing Army green.
They took away my gin and rum; Now I'm up before the sun..."

Maybe you are talking about bugle calls?
Here are some of the camp calls played by the bugler:
Reveille
Assembly
Drill Call
Tattoo
Taps
In the days of the cavalry:
To Arms
Charge
Retreat
etc.
