Definition
派遣 (pàiqiǎn) means 'to send/dispatch (on a mission/assignment)', used for sending people (often groups) on official duties (delegations, medical teams). It is more formal and specific than 派 (pài, HSK5), the everyday word for 'send/assign' a person. Use 派遣 for organized missions; use 派 for casual or individual tasks.
