mobilisation

Marshaling for action

Mobilisation is the British spelling of mobilization—the process of assembling and preparing resources for action, especially military forces for war.

A government orders mobilisation to ready troops and equipment.

The term extends to any large-scale organizing effort: the mobilisation of public opinion, mass mobilisation of volunteers.
