Word origin
The term 'demobilization' originated during the early 20th century in the context of World War I. As the need for soldiers decreased after the war ended, the process of demobilization became crucial to transition military personnel back to civilian life. Since then, demobilization has been a common practice following armed conflicts to ensure the smooth return of soldiers to society.
