In the AFFORGEN cycle, which term corresponds to the third phase?

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

Answer: (C)

In the AFFORGEN cycle, forces progress from planning and organizing to being assigned for actual missions. The third phase, Available to Commit, is the point at which units have completed readiness actions and are cleared for tasking. They’re identified as ready to be assigned to operations and can be committed to missions by the combatant commander, with schedules and priorities in place. This phase distinguishes itself from the first phase, which focuses on building and organizing for projected operations; the second phase, where units are prepared and potentially deployable but not yet assigned to a specific operation; and the fourth phase, which returns forces to home station and resets after a deployment.
