recommissioning
Returning to duty
Recommissioning is putting something back into active service after a period of decommissioning or disuse.
Ships, power plants, and military equipment are recommissioned when needed again: The Navy is recommissioning two frigates to address fleet shortages.
The term also applies to building systems—reassessing and optimizing HVAC or electrical systems that have degraded since initial commissioning.
