fall in

Military formation command

Fall in is a command, typically military, ordering personnel to assemble in formation or take their assigned places in ranks.

Outside military contexts, to fall in means to join a group already in motion or to conform with others: She fell in with the marchers as they passed.

If you fall in with someone, you begin associating with them, often with implications about influence: He fell in with a rough crowd after dropping out.
