Morphology
unmobilized = mobilized (transparent) = un + mobilize + ed
The prefix 'un-' simply negates the participial/adjectival 'mobilized', so the meaning is directly derivable.
Etymology
Unmobilized is made from un- 'not' and mobilize, which comes from the Latin root mobilis meaning 'moving', the same root you see in mobile and automobile. So unmobilized describes people, money, or things that are not 'moved into action' or not prepared for use.
