It is all about mobilisation in the very widest sense.

For many here who are of a military background the word can mean something quite different; no, I don't mean railway timetables.

For those with a LE background the word can mean simply "more people, more trouble" and instinctively take a conservative viewpoint - "please not now".

As 'Surferbeetle' posted neighbourhood watch is an example of mobilisation; one wonders how LE would respond to neighbourhood change?
