This event is a pivotal moment in military life. It marks the transition from transit to integration into the established structure and procedures of a military organization. Historically, this point has signified the beginning of training, duty, and the establishment of unit cohesion among newly arrived personnel.

Proper orientation and onboarding procedures at this time have proven vital for morale and mission success.
