reallocate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'freshly deploy' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'material recently restricting military commander' is the wordplay.
'material' becomes 'real' ('real' is associated in meaning with 'material').
'recently' becomes 'late' (I've seen this in other clues).
'restricting' indicates putting letters inside.
'military commander' becomes 'oc' (abbreviation for officer commanding).
'late' enclosing 'oc' is 'locate'.
'real'+'locate'='REALLOCATE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for reallocate that I've seen is " Distribute differently".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
