recommissioned

Put back in service

Recommissioned means put back into active service after a period of retirement or disuse.

The term applies especially to naval vessels and military equipment: The battleship was recommissioned for the Gulf War.

It also describes the formal restoration of authority or function to something previously decommissioned: The power plant was recommissioned after safety upgrades.
