Which AFFORGEN phase has a unit available for contingency deployment?

• A. Available Phase
• B. Reset Phase
• C. Prepare Phase
• D. Certify Phase

Answer: (A)

AFFORGEN guides how forces are prepared and presented for deployment, moving units through phases that reflect their readiness to be sent on missions. The key idea is that a unit can only be tasked for contingency deployment when it is declared available. In the Available Phase, the unit has completed the required readiness checks, training, equipment, and personnel standards, and is ready to receive mission taskings from the Combatant Commands. The other phases serve different purposes: Prepare is about shaping and preparing forces for future tasking; Certify ensures specific deployment standards and certifications are met; Reset is the period after deployment to restore readiness and reconstitute the unit. So, the phase where a unit is truly ready to be deployed for contingencies is the Available Phase.
