battlestations
Crisis crew assignments
Battlestations is a command ordering military personnel to their assigned posts for combat or emergency, typically aboard a naval vessel: The captain called battlestations when enemy ships appeared on radar.
The word extends to any urgent mobilization: It's battlestations around here when the boss announces a surprise inspection.
Also spelled as two words.
