remilitarising
Restoring military capacity
Remilitarising is the British spelling of remilitarizing—the process of restoring military forces, weapons, or infrastructure to a region or nation that had been demilitarized.
The term often appears in discussions of treaty violations or shifting security policies: Germany began remilitarising the Rhineland in 1936.
