In military, pastoral, and migratory contexts, to encamp or to station oneself or one's group, often with an implication of impermanence or readiness to move. Occasionally, to lay siege or station troops in a location. The verb reflects an act rather than a state, focusing on the process and intentionality of settling somewhere temporarily.
