Prepare phase AFFORGEN focuses on what?

• A. initial force assessment
• B. post-mission analysis
• C. resource allocation
• D. training toward peak readiness

Answer: (D)

During the Prepare phase of AFFORGEN, the focus is on building and validating force readiness so the next cycle can reach peak readiness. This means training toward required capabilities, rehearsing mission-essential tasks, and ensuring personnel and equipment are ready for deployment or operations. It’s not about post-mission analysis, which happens after an operation, nor about initial force assessment, which occurs earlier in planning, and not primarily about allocating resources—that tends to be addressed in later phases as the force moves toward execution. By concentrating training and readiness now, the unit sets the conditions to achieve peak readiness when the generation phase begins.
