No Order

Do military officers ever REALLY have to say "tHat's aN oRder!" like they do in fiction?

No. I was in the US army for five years. I never heard any NCO or officer say, โ€œThatโ€™s an orderโ€ a single time, not even jokingly.

It would/does sound both redundant and pointless to anyone in the military. If someone senior to you tells you to do something itโ€™s already an order. Saying โ€œThatโ€™s an orderโ€ just sounds weak.
