Morphology
remilitarization = remilitarize (transparent) = re + militar + ize + ation
This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'remilitarize', meaning the act or process of doing it again.
Etymology
Remilitarization breaks into parts: re- meaning 'again', militar- from military meaning 'soldiers' or 'armed forces', and -ization meaning 'the act of'. So, remilitarization means the 'arming' of a place again, putting soldiers or weapons back into a region after it was without them.
