Can you exhaust this card during deployment? i.e. following a scout X move.

Yup! Anytime you perform a move you have an opportunity to use it.

This also includes a force push from a force user.

While that's true, I believe the player using Force Push would have to be the one that does it. Following the same logic that allows them to use other abilities like Reposition (which is specifically clarified in the RRG entry). Still, not a bad move to be able to exhaust your opponent's card.

Not necessarily, the rule you quoted does specify reposition. It could be that it is treated like an out of turn move and the choice of exhausting any cards is up to the owner of the unit whether they choose to exhaust. Definitely worth request for a rules clarification. At the moment I'd say that either player could trigger it based on what the rules have at the moment. Reposition itself is tied to the movement aka offensive push could also be viewed as tied to the movement ergo the force user player has choice, but the choice to exhaust could be left with the owner player , which could also mean that since they didn't make the move the choice may not be theirs either. I'm not expecting an answer but I think I'll submit a rules request on this one.

Well you can’t just arbitrarily exhaust a card. You exhaust it as a cost to use the ability (page 12). And the ability on Offensive Push is 100% tied to movement just like Reposition is.

I'm with you on this one , I think that the force user could waste the offensive push exhausting it if they wish, but it isn't just the same as reposition. That specific call out only mentions reposition, and doesn't use reposition as an example , so it isnt a given that the same applies here.
