If an officer says "Get on your belly", what does it mean?

Thanks.

You probably mean "Lie on your stomach".
"Lie down!" intransitive. lie/lay/lain.
"Lay down your weapons!" transitive. lay/laid/laid. (They are different verbs)
"When the officer told me to 'hit the ground' I lay on my stomach (past tense). 'hit the ground' means the same thing.

Dear Raymott, thanks for clarification. I got it.
