Directions to proceed (military) (8,6)

I believe the answer is:

marching orders

(Other definitions for marching orders that I've seen before include "Notice" , "given when firing?" , "Left and right repeatedly" , "Eg "Best foot forward"" , "what's given to departing soldiers?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
