Which AFFORGEN phase would you expect training toward peak readiness occur in?

• A. Reset phase
• B. Available to Commit phase
• C. Prepare phase
• D. Ready phase

Answer: (C)

In AFFORGEN, the phase set that focuses on building and validating capability through training is the Prepare phase. This is the period where units actively train, exercise, and address any gaps identified in earlier stages so they can reach the high level of readiness required for deployment. Training toward peak readiness is exactly what you do here so that, when you move into the Ready phase, you’re already at or near full capability.

Think of it this way: Reset is about recovering and resetting after operations, Available to Commit is about being ready for tasking but not yet fully prepared, and Ready is the state of being at peak readiness to execute missions. The Prepare phase is the dedicated window to bring everything up to that peak level.
