Which sequence lists the AFFORGEN phases in their correct order?

• A. Certify, Prepare, Reset, Available to Commit
• B. Prepare, Certify, Available to Commit, Reset
• C. Prepare, Reset, Certify, Available to Commit
• D. Available to Commit, Prepare, Certify, Reset

Answer: (B)

AFFORGEN moves units from planning to deployment and back in a clear, sequential flow. Start with Prepare, focusing on building readiness—training, equipment, logistics, and initial planning to ensure teams and assets are ready. Then move to Certify, where readiness is measured against established standards and verified before any deployment is considered possible. Next comes Available to Commit, meaning those units are cleared to be assigned to missions or deployments but haven’t yet actually taken them on. Finally, Reset allows units to recover and reconstitute after deployments or cycles, returning to home station and getting ready to begin the next cycle. This order ensures forces are fully prepared and verified before they’re committed, and that there’s a structured reset period to restore readiness. Other sequences place these steps out of order, which would undermine verified readiness or proper recovery.
