Learners sometimes confuse "disarm" with "demilitarize." Use "disarm" for taking weapons from people, groups, or a country, and "demilitarize" mainly for removing military forces or weapons from a specific area or zone. Learners may also incorrectly say *"disarm his weapon"; natural English is "disarm him" or "take his weapon away."
