From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, searchDemob redirects here. For the television series, see Demob (TV series). For the British punk rock band see Demob (band). See also D Mob.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.
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 favored length and certain types of service. The British armed forces were demobilized according to an 'age-and-service' scheme.[1]
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.[2]

D-Day was June 6, 1944 - the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in Normandy. The code word for D-Day was Mickey Mouse.(Note: D-Day is simply a codeword, like H-Hour.)
The Battle for Normandy was fought in Normandy, France.
D-Day was designed to be the last push on germany. D Day was the first step in taking the war back to Hitlers Europe. At that time the Russians were pressing in the East and were taking most of the casualties in the war. Italy had been invaded by the Allies but a new front was required. Dday was the day on which (at that time) the greatest sea armada ever known was lauched against the Normandy coast. The invasion area was set into five beaches. Despite what Hollywood says it was not a solely US affair. The Americans had two of the areas, the British had two and the Canadians had one.
