Art/Literary - Military / Defense / drawdown
English term or phrase: drawdown
Hello,

I'm using the word "Drawdown" as a title in my artwork. I'm referring to the English word in how it is used in the military as drawdown of the troops, etc.

I have found Arabic words that refer to withdrawal but nothing for drawdwon.

Many thanks.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Hall 9000: Thank you. Is there a single word like drawdown? The word "alqwat" means military right. Is there an equivalent Arabic word that has "draw" + "down"? Like drawing and reducing?
