assembly area
Where groups collect
An assembly area is a designated location where people or units gather before moving elsewhere or taking action.
Military forces collect at assembly areas before operations; workers meet at assembly areas during evacuations.
The term emphasizes organization—a place to regroup, take count, and prepare for what comes next: Report to the assembly area on the east side of the building.
