falls in
Joins the ranks
Falls in describes joining a formation or line, especially in military contexts where soldiers assemble in ranks: The sergeant ordered the troops to fall in.
By extension, it means conforming or going along with others: She eventually falls in with whatever the group decides.
To fall in with someone can also mean to begin associating with them, often by chance: He fell in with a bad crowd after moving to the city.
