Question: Pakistan Army Mobilization

[PakArmyFTW]

Hello there! I had 2 questions and hoped you guys could answer them. (1) First off, what exactly is mobilization in military terms? Is it basically getting your army to the front line, getting it ready, etc? What is it?

(2) And how fast can Pakistan mobilize its army?

Thanks!

1) Mobilization in military terms is the marshaling of the armed forces (including reserves) to respond to an external threat or a disaster. This means preparing your forces for a fight by relocating them to their active posts, providing supplies and other preparations. There are varying degrees of mobilization for various threats and situations.

2) 24 to 72 hours for a complete mobilization if I am not mistaken. (If I am then please correct me)

Ah! Thank you.

Another question I forgot to add: How do you decrease mobilization time? Better command and control? Better communications? Better expressways to move troops?

As @Selous said, there are varying degrees.

Improving command and control, along with, say, getting more helicopters and transportation vehicles would be effective in improving partial mobilization (for natural disasters i.e floods, tsunamis, earthquakes) but for full or total mobilization (for responding to an invasion or military action) better logistics, railways, roads, supply lines etc are required.

This article is good for the basics - it's from a US military point of view, but the basics are similar for the Pakistan Army

To decrease mobilization time there are a variety of strategies that can be employed:
Better command and control.
Better communication.
Faster methods of transportation for the troops.
Bases closer to where the soldiers stay.
Better training.
Heavy equipment should be stored where it can be moved to the front quickly.
Soldiers should keep the basic equipment with them (such as rifles and some ammunition as practiced in Switzerland).
Soldiers should be motivated.
Forward Operating Bases should be close to the front.

He is talking about Pak Army. Pakistan should encourage heroin addiction among Indian troops to further decrease their mobilizing capacity.

In the age of stand off weapons the mobilization time is not as relevant as it was before. The force can be projected at an invading enemy from a stand off range even during mobilization.
