Which AFFORGEN phase is most closely associated with committing forces to support ongoing operations?

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

Answer: (D)

In AFFORGEN, forces pass through stages that describe how quickly they can be placed into operations and how tightly they’re tied to missions. The phase where forces are actually allocated to a named operation and become committed to that mission is the Commit phase. That’s when units are obligated to support the ongoing operation, with manpower, equipment, and sustainment aligned to that specific task and no longer available for other uses without being released. The other phases handle different states of readiness: Prepare shapes and position resources for deployment; Ready keeps forces prepared and available but not yet assigned to a particular operation; Reset brings units back to baseline after operations, resetting equipment and readiness.
