manning
Working the post
Manning is staffing or operating something, especially a station, position, or piece of equipment: Who's manning the front desk?
The term derives from the notion of supplying men for a task, though it now applies regardless of gender.
Manning also refers to the act of providing personnel to a ship, fort, or operation: Manning the lifeboats took precious minutes.
