military rosters
Armed forces registers
Military rosters are official lists of personnel assigned to a unit, ship, or installation.
They typically include names, ranks, and duty assignments.
Rosters serve administrative purposes—tracking who's present, scheduling rotations, and organizing deployments: Check the roster to see who's on guard duty tonight.
The term extends to any formal military personnel listing.
