The quick and effective mantra used by infantry units, especially in the United States Marine Corps, during fire team rushes. It’s part of a coordinated movement where a Marine quickly rises to expose themselves ("I'm up"), draws enemy attention ("he sees me"), and then immediately drops down to take cover ("I'm down").
The phrase is a reminder of the fast, calculated rhythm required to move efficiently while minimizing exposure to enemy fire—essentially, pop up, get noticed, and then hit the dirt before anyone can take a shot!
