OK - I've had a brain freeze...

When troops are called up for active duty, they receive orders to assemble at a specific location.

What is that location called? For some reason I'm drawing a blank.

Only term I know of is duty station. I recall that is how it is termed on your papers.

Normally just referred to as "Assembly point".

I have also only seen that termed duty station. For example, for persons entering active duty, the date of rank is established from the date of report to their first duty station.

I think it's called Point of debarkation.

My DD214 says Place of Entry into Active Duty and lists Boston, MA

My mobilization orders for Noble Eagle have me reporting to duty station listed below.
