At ease.........
Would this be ''descansen''? that's what the Sargent said to his men.

I believe so, though 'rest' sounds rubbish as compared to 'at ease'...
With 'stand easy' or 'at ease' I know where I am, if you tell me to rest I'm likely to lie down on the floor and have a kip...
Sure , at ease means descansen. It is a comand.
