As the command syntax indicates, this command expects starting and ending position in format PositionAGL meaning that over the land it expects PositionATL and over the sea PositionASLW. Use additional ASLToAGL and AGLToASL commands wherever is necessary.

addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", {
    drawLine3D [ASLToAGL eyePos soldier1, ASLToAGL eyePos soldier2, [1,0,0,1]];
}];
