Yes. An extremely potent and important ritual event engineered by YHVH for our edification and to make us believe.
The crossing event is a critical study. Massively important on many levels.
But my question is related to.....God commanding Joshua to name that camp specifically in terms of a symbolic remembrance to what God had done for them.

Here it is...
Gilgal = "rolled back".
The reproach of Egypt was that the Egyptians told the children of Israel that God would kill them all in the wilderness.
Which of course did not happen. In fact God preserved them with loving care in the wilderness.
Jos 5:9
And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.

Sounds like deliverance from the bondage of sin holding a believer back from receiving God’s Promises….
Interesting study! Make it a thread and let’s go deeper in understanding! Call it:
“The Meaning of Gilgal…”.
I’ll jump on that thread! It will be great!

BTW....it is very possible that Caleb's name means "son of a Gentile dog".....
His father may have been a proselyte. Maybe.

I thought the first encampment was Gibeath Haaraloth? Gilgal is only mentioned later, in verse 9. I also thought that the reproach of Egypt was that the Israelites were uncircumcised until that point, until the offense was literally and metaphorically "rolled back" via circumcision. What you said does make sense, though.
Joshua 5:1 - 3
Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the Lord had dried up the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, their hearts melted in fear and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites.
At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites again.” So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath Haaraloth.
