Morphology

remobilization = remobilize (transparent) = re + mobile + ize + ation

This is a regular noun formed from the verb 'remobilize' with '-ation', meaning the act or process of doing it.

Etymology

Remobilization comes from re- meaning 'again' and mobile meaning 'able to move', a root you see in the word mobile. It is the act of making people, services, or resources move or work again. So, after a disaster, remobilization is getting teams and supplies back into action.
