English term or phrase: close-order drills
Hi!

"*Close-order drills* are the basics of XYZ soldiers. One! Two! One! Two!"

Bin mir leider nicht sicher, wer das sagt. Kommt in den Dialogen eines Computerspiels vor. Dem Kontext nach geht es um Informationen über XYZ Soldaten.

Explanation:
Marschieren, links-um, rechts-um, Augen geradeaus, etc.

Darauf deuten sowohl die Wiki-Definition als auch das 1-2, 1-2 hin, was man üblicherweise benutzt, um den Gleichschritt vorzugeben.

Formaldienst


Explanation:
Encyclopedie Britannica: "Modern drill is essentially of two types: close-order and extended-order, or combat drill. Close-order drill comprises the formal movements and formations used in marching, parades, and ceremonies. Combat drill trains a small unit in the looser, extended formations and movements of battle."

Der "Formaldienst" scheint dem ungefähr zu entsprechen:

Vielleicht brauchst Du hier aber etwa "knackigeres"...
