This practice of inspections led to the coining of the English idiom pass muster, meaning being sufficient.
A muster roll is the list of members of a military unit, often including their rank and the dates they joined or left.
In Tudor England, musters were periodic assessments of the availability of local militia to act as a defence force.
The British Armed Forces have a tradition of performing a muster for the reigning monarch during a jubilee year.
For the first time all three service branches were present at the same time during the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Armed Forces Parade and Muster, held in celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
