To remove from the position of marshal or to dismiss from military leadership; to disorder or unmarshal troops.
From 'dis-' plus 'marshall' (from Old French 'mareschal', meaning a high military officer, ultimately from Germanic roots meaning 'horse servant'). The prefix reverses the authority granted by marshalling.
To 'marshal' troops means to organize them perfectly, but to 'dismarshall' means to undo that order—it's the opposite of military discipline. This word perfectly captures how militaries work through their ability to order and, when needed, throw into chaos.
