mobilised

Mobilised is the past tense and past participle of mobilise, meaning to assemble, organize, and prepare people or resources for active service or action. In British English, the spelling mobilised is standard; the American form is mobilized. The term derives from French mobiliser, from Late Latin mobilis meaning movable.

In military and defense contexts, mobilization describes summoning and deploying armed forces, equipment, and logistics, sometimes at partial or general levels depending on policy or threat. In civilian contexts, governments and organizations mobilise resources such as personnel, vehicles, facilities, and funding to respond to emergencies, disasters, public health campaigns, or humanitarian crises. The concept can encompass planning, recruitment, provisioning, and command-and-control coordination.

In politics and social life, mobilisation refers to efforts to rally people to participate in events, vote, or support a cause. The rise of digital communications has increased the speed and scale of mobilisation, enabling rapid organization of volunteers and supporters across geographic areas. Mobilised can also describe things that have been brought into action or readiness, and is closely related to the broader process of mobilisation or mobilization.
