Mobilization is when an individual or unit is sent somewhere within the continental U.S. or its territories. For example, a unit may have been mobilized to assist during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to a location in Louisiana from their base in Illinois. Mobilizations count as deployments under the USERRA Act.

Military mobilization involves the assembling and organizing of national military resources—that is, active or reserve forces—to support a nation's defense or strategic objectives.
