Morphology

redeploy = deploy (transparent) = re + deploy

The prefix 're-' has its regular sense here, so 'redeploy' is straightforwardly understood as deploying again or in a new arrangement.

Etymology

Redeploy is made of re- meaning 'again' and deploy meaning 'to spread out' or 'send out', like soldiers or teams taking up positions. So, to redeploy is to move people, troops, or equipment to a new place or job — to 'send out again'.
