To play utterly-ignorant Devil's Advocate - could it be the 'march out of sync' that is used on bridges and such?

Route step?
It really has nothing to do with bridges.
I thought I heard (on this site as a matter of fact) there is a march soldiers will use on a shaky bridge so there isn't the entire group hammering in sync as they go across. I'll reiterate, I'm speaking as an utterly ignorant voice on this, hence the use of question marks.
You're not crazy. Maybe folk lore but I have heard that, at least at some point in history, they had to avoid marching soldiers in lock step over bridges to avoid hitting the resonate frequency and bringing the bridge down.Ok. I'll drop it. Thanks for clarifying, guys.
