customary

'per standard practice' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'army scout redeployed' is the wordplay.
'redeployed' indicates an anagram.
'army'+'scout'='armyscout'
'armyscout' with letters rearranged gives 'CUSTOMARY'.

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for customary that I've seen before include "Normal, usual" , "precedent" , "Commonly used or practised" , "Courts may find this usual" , "Conventional" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
