"At ease" and "stand at ease" are two very different things. At ease, in layman's terms, is a more formal way of saying, "shut up and listen up".

"At ease" is used in the army as a command to relax and stand at a more comfortable posture while still maintaining discipline and focus. It allows soldiers to shift their weight, relax their arms, and take a more casual stance, while still being ready to quickly return to attention if necessary. This command helps to break up the monotony of standing at attention for extended periods and allows for a brief physical and mental respite.
