reassigning
Moving to another
Reassigning is moving someone or something from one role, task, or category to another.
An employee gets reassigned to a different department; troops are reassigned to a new base; a case is reassigned to another judge.
They're reassigning me to the Chicago office.
The word implies authority—someone with power makes the change.
