dragooning

In the course of the same month there is a general dragooning of the revolted tribes.

He issued a proclamation ordering the surrender of all arms by the civil population of Ulster which effectively disarmed and crippled United Irish organisation and became known as the "dragooning of Ulster".

Munro reportedly turned against the authorities upon witnessing a suspected rebel being flogged [1] during the brutal "dragooning of Ulster", when the army were unleashed upon the suspected United Irish strongholds of Ulster in an effort to crush the organisation.

Mr. Taylor, a former warlord and long one of West Africa's most feared men, is now imprisoned here, charged with multiple crimes, including ordering the dragooning of children into combat, the hacking off of limbs and the killing of thousands of civilians in the 1990's.
