Peer comment(s):

agree Tania McConaghy : perhaps add a term like "physical (medical) exam/(physical) fitness test" or similar. Odd that there isn't a single term to cover this concept in EN!

Thanks, Deane Goltermann.
disagree Sven Petersson : Enlistment (in this context) = to enter the armed forces. "Mönstring" precedes enlistment; see my answer.

Enlistment denotes the entire procedure, including the final outcome. Therefore, your interpretation is not correct.
agree Anna Herbst : And Norstedts Ord.se agree as well.
