Company, atten-SHUN!
"Company, attention!" with very loud stress on the last syllable, as typically yelled by sergeant-majors.

Thank you. Yes, in Britain too. Sometimes abbreviated to "SHUN!". // But "Ten-hut!" is purely US.

Discussion
example of such elision is the command "Attention", which is usually uttered with the initial "a" hardly if at all audible, "ten" drawn out, and "tion" drastically shortened such that, in popular culture, the command often ends up being spelled "ten-hut."
