Redeployment is typically what compared to deployment?

Redeployment is generally faster than the initial deployment due to several streamlined processes and lessons learned from the first deployment. When forces are redeployed, they often have existing infrastructure, experience, and logistical relationships in place, which facilitate quicker movement and operational readiness. Additionally, the previous deployment allows for better preparation in terms of equipment, supply chains, and personnel adjustments.

In many cases, services and support elements have already been established, leading to reduced lead times for redeployment as units can leverage prior experiences to mitigate challenges faster. This is in contrast to the initial deployment, which typically requires more extensive coordination and resource allocation to establish a new operational presence. Overall, the familiarity with the operational environment and established protocols contribute to a more efficient redeployment process.
