Which is NOT a part of the 4-phases of AFFORGEN?

• A. Ready
• B. Reset
• C. Training
• D. Prepare

Answer: (C)

AFFORGEN is a cycle that organizes force readiness into four distinct phases. The names of those phases reflect the state of the unit as it moves toward and maintains mission capability: Ready, Prepare, Reset, and Sustain. Training, while essential, isn’t called out as its own phase in this framework; it’s an ongoing activity embedded within the phases, especially during Prepare and Sustain, to ensure people and units reach and maintain the required proficiency and readiness levels. That’s why Training isn’t considered one of the four AFFORGEN phases—the cycle itself lists Ready, Prepare, Reset, and Sustain, while training is carried out within those phases to support readiness.
