redispatch

Forward once more

To redispatch is to dispatch again—sending something or someone to a new destination after an initial dispatch.

The term appears in logistics and transportation when shipments are rerouted: The package was redispatched to the correct address.

In military and emergency contexts, it means reassigning personnel or resources to a different location or mission.
