demobilize

Demobilization at the end of the war, that fall, made matters even worse.

My plan is this: We announce the termination of the war and demobilization without signing any peace.

There were a few fellows he had known in squadron quarters overseas, home for good now that demobilization was fairly complete.

The housing shortage did not start with the war or with demobilization; it began years before that and has steadily accumulated.
