But it's not...
Commuting is travelling from your chosen home to your normal base. It is required to do your normal job, and is reasonable to require you to do it, but is not part of your job.
Positioning to somewhere other than your normal base is not commuting, it is relocating for the companies benefit. Therefore part of the job.
