It is a quote attributed to Robert E Lee as his last words. "Strike the tent" would be an order to take down or disassemble the tent. It would seem that Lee was being metaphorical at the time, since he was about to die and the "tent" (his life) was about to end.

It was the last order that General Lee gave as commander of Confederate forces after the surrender at Appomattox Court House. At any rate, the idea that General Lee was musing metaphorically upon his deathbed is absurd.
Well, darling, "Strike the Tent" is a fancy way of saying "pack it up and get the heck out of here." It's a military term used to signal the end of a mission or operation. So, next time you hear someone say it, just know it's time to hit the road, Jack!
"Strike the tent" is a military term that originated from the practice of dismantling and packing up a tent when breaking camp. In a broader sense, it means to disassemble or take down something, typically in a quick and efficient manner. It is often used metaphorically to indicate the end or closure of an activity, project, or operation.
Oh, dude, "Strike the Tent" is just a fancy way of saying "take down the tent." It's like when you're camping and you're ready to pack up and head home, you strike the tent. It's not rocket science, just tent science.
