Your Definition
This is a military term for aligning yourself in formation with the person in front of you, so that when viewed from the front of a formation you all are covered and aligned correctly. In the vernacular, to cover down means to get someone's back when they fuck up. Example: "Where is Jones, why isn't he here?" "He's at dental sergeant." That's covering down.
