military

Originally the roll call was the signal to gather scattered troops, especially the cavalry, after the attack had been carried out.

Companies , battalions, and sometimes regiments appear in armies . For companies (and batteries ) the daily routine begins with roll call. The company sergeant major and the company commander greet the soldiers and check that they are complete and that the equipment ordered is complete. They accept reports and requests, provide information about news and announce the daily program in the form of issuing orders .

In the navy there are no roll calls, but samples. In the sea routine, they are generally not part of everyday life, but are ordered by the commander or first officer for a special occasion (ports) .
