Which AFFORGEN phase comes immediately before 'Available to Commit'?

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

Answer: (A)

AFFORGEN flows in a fixed sequence that progressively readies forces for potential tasking. Reset establishes the baseline after a cycle, Prepare builds readiness, and Certify validates that readiness and compliance. Only after Certify are assets deemed Ready to be Available to Commit, meaning they can be allocated to a mission if needed. So the phase just before Available to Commit is Certify. The option that shows the sequence Reset, Prepare, Certify, Available to Commit reflects that flow, making it the correct choice. If a sequence placed Available to Commit before Certify, or rearranged Reset and Prepare, it would imply assets are being committed without the necessary verification or proper buildup, which isn’t how AFFORGEN is designed to work.
