Demobilization is the process of standing down a nation's armed forces from combat-ready status, or deactivating units or soldiers after a war, conflict, or any military situation. This typically includes discharging soldiers, decommissioning weapons, and returning resources or military equipment to storage. It may also involve transitioning military personnel and resources back into civilian life or use.

Demobilization
Demobilization is the process of standing down a nation's armed forces from combat-ready status. This may be as a result of victory in war, or because a crisis has been peacefully resolved and military force will not be necessary. The opposite of demobilization is mobilization. Forceful demobilization of a defeated enemy is called Demilitarization. In the final days of World War II, for example, the United States Armed Forces developed a demobilization plan which would discharge soldiers on the basis of a point system that favoured length and certain types of service. The British armed forces were demobilized according to an 'age-and-service' scheme. The phrase demob happy refers to demobilization and is broadly applied to the feeling of relief at imminent release from a time-serving burden, such as a career. In Russian language it is known as dembel and has become a certain tradition in the Soviet and post-Soviet Armed Forces. An American equivalent is "short-timer's disease", comparable to "senioritis" among United States high-school students.
