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.
