The term comes from the military. The marching orders were orders to depart for the battle.
"The troops finally got their marching orders. They are shipping out tomorrow morning."
Informally, it is when you tell someone to go away. It is a very negative situation.
"Maria and Thomas has a big fight and Maria finally gave Thomas his marching orders. I always thought he was a jerk and am glad that he is gone."
"When the boss saw Thomas sleeping on the job, he gave Thomas his marching orders. Now he is unemployed."
"The coach made some cuts to the team last week and three players got their marching orders." (They weren't good enough to stay on the team)
