GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:temporary withdrawal

Military / Defense / military vehicle
Swedish term or phrase: Uppställning
I am working on a text about a Bandvagn all-terrain vehicle. I am looking for a word to contrast with "parking". On one page it talks about:
"Uppställning av fordon upp till en månad."
and the next page deals with "Parkering"

I have a feeling I am missing something obvious.
Thanks for help in advance.

temporary withdrawal
Explanation:
We are looking for something between parking while still operational and complete withdrawal for maintenance/repairs. Garaging may fit certain contexts but requires the vehicle to go into a permanent building.
So I think "temporary withdrawal" is a flexible enough translation.
Otherwise just use "parking" again, that would fit the sense of reference 1.
