: it depends who is doing the تحويل. It seems to be the employer. If it is the employer then it is conversion. If it is the employee then it could be conversion or possibly transfer.

Transformation (in the context provided)
Greetings.
In the context provided, the equivalent term "American military English" to that Arabic term is:
Transformation
An alternative term for that entire process, as described in the Arabic context above -- and which term is used only within the US Army -- is "soldierization."
That somewhat-awkward-but-widely-used term encompasses the deliberate program of orientation, gradual socialization, and military training to turn a civilian into someone with the image, attitudes and personality of a soldier.
Hopr this helps.
Khair, in shaa' Allah.
Regards.
