Demobilization

<h2 id="two-approaches-to-demobilization">Two approaches to demobilization</h2>
<p>The <a href="/facts/United_Nations_peacekeeping/pfhrl5Wq">United Nations Peacekeeping</a> Operational Manual lists two different approaches to demobilization. These approaches are the semi-permanent demobilization sites (cantonment) or the mobile method which means demobilization at the sites where ex-combatants are gathered.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a>

<p>In <a href="/facts/Professional_diving/jzXKtH37">professional diving</a>, demobilization is the dismantling, packing and transport back to storage of the diving spread, and where relevant, restoring the site to initial condition. Mobilization is the converse process.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a>
