Note
One spelling does two jobs. After a form of be it builds the progressive (the team is deploying a fix), and at the head of a phrase it acts as a noun (deploying troops takes planning). Because deploy works with or without an object, so does this form: a commander is deploying troops, but the troops are deploying along the ridge, and a parachute is deploying overhead. In software, the object is the system or application.
The troops were deploying along the ridge before dawn.
We watched the parachute deploying above the trees.
