retasked
Assigned different work
Retasked means reassigned to a different task or purpose.
The word appears most often in military and intelligence contexts, where assets like satellites, drones, or personnel are redirected from one mission to another: The surveillance drone was retasked to monitor the southern border.
In corporate settings, retasked describes shifting employees or resources to new priorities.
