Mobilisation order

While mobilisation announcement would clearly be understood, I think something more authoritative in tone would be better: "mobilization order" or "mobilization declaration." (Note that mobilization is the American spelling).
Example sentence:

World War II. General mobilization order. France, September 2, 1939

mobilization announcement

Compare with this:
"On Tuesday 28 July, therefore, the Russian Chief of Staff, Janushkevich, with his quartermaster-general, chief of mobilisation and chief of transportation, agreed that the “Period Preparatory to War” must now be superseded by formal mobilisation announcements." https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/248041/how-war-begi...
