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

'given replacement equipment' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with ownership as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'soldiers did a dance' is the wordplay.
'soldiers' becomes 're' (Royal Engineers).
'did a dance' becomes 'jigged' (jigging is a kind of doing a dance).
're'+'jigged'='REJIGGED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for rejigged that I've seen is " Equipped for new work".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
