When does the moon reach the waxing gibbous phase?
Waxing, as opposed to waning, is when the moon is getting bigger, going towards full. Gibbous is the phase when it's between half and full. So waxing gibbous is when it's nearly full.

When the moon appears to grow smaller, we say it "wanes". Conversely, when it gets bigger, we say it "waxes".

The lessening of the illumninated part of the Moon is called "waning" (decreasing). The phases included are waning gibbous (more than 50%), last quarter, waning crescent (less than 50%), and finally the new moon.
When is the waxing gibbous phase of the moon going to occur next?

A "waxing gibbous . The Italians would like to be able to see where they are going, & whom they are sooting at. As invaders have learned the hard way for centuries, to invade this mountainous region one must take advantage of everything available to them. - Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections In addition to the above (maximal light conditions while still benefitting from the cover of darkness), a waxing gibbous moon The reason this is important is for amphibious landings. Very high tides tend to flood beach defenses (which are usually designed for as far safer to use and more likely to reach the beach intact. One note: modern low-light and infrared technologywi now generally chose to attack during phases close to the new moon ) and in bad(cloudy, ra can have such vision-enhancing equipment) AVOID waxing gibbous moon phases.

Why are there two Crescents Half and Gibbous phases?
A moon goes from new to full and back. During this process it starts with just a crescent, goes to the point of being half full, goes through the waxing gibbous phase, reaches full and then starts to get smaller, going through waning gibbous, half full and back down towards a crescent and then there is a new moon. The phases start on one side and go through to the other side. So the first crescent is on the right side, in early evening, just after sunset and the final crescent is on the left side, just before sunrise.
