brigaded
Organized into regiments
Brigaded is the past tense of brigade, meaning organized into a brigade or grouped together for a common purpose.
Military units are brigaded under a single command.
The word extends to any deliberate grouping: The volunteers were brigaded into teams by skill level.
In internet slang, brigaded describes a coordinated influx of users—often from another community—who flood a post or forum to manipulate votes or comments: The thread got brigaded by trolls.
