Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(category)/.*?(subcategory)/?$ /$1/$2/ [L,NC,NE,R=301]

I think the point is that something_dynamic must be dynamically matched, rather than statically in the RewriteRule.
