I don't understand what it's telling me to do. I pick a flag that's unclaimed then from a pile next to it pick a card. Then I discard it? I don't know if I understand it or what it is for. Help. Thanks.

It just means that you can take a card previously put down either by you or your opponent and remove it from play. The position has to be one which has not yet been claimed. Claimed positions cannot be changed by such play. You would do this to say break up your opponents position before he gets to complete say a wedge. This is more powerful if you play by the rule that you cannot claim a flag until the begining of your next turn following the play of your last card on that formation; this allows the other player the option to trash something on an un-winable position or it also allows the player of the redeploy card the chance to let's say 'kill' the middle card of that valuable wedge he just completed!

I don't think this is quite right - the text on the card reads "Choose any one troop or tactics card from your own side next to an unclaimed flag, and place it into any empty slot on your side or discard it face up on your side".
So you can use it to either move or discard one of your own cards, but you can't touch your opponent's cards with it (the Traitor and Deserter cards let you mess with your opponent's formations though).

Why would I want to use this card?

You've started a formation. Before you complete it, you opponent completes (or threatens to complete) a more powerful formation. So, you redeploy a card, opening yourself to the possibility of a formation that will now be more powerful than your opponent's formation, and presumably aiding one of your partial formations elsewhere.

You know that situation that occurs multiple times every game of Battle Line where you think "I wish I'd played that card somewhere else instead"?

That's why redeploy is good
