During which AFFORGEN phase are large force exercises typically conducted?

The Ready phase of the Air Force Forces Generation (AFFORGEN) model is where large force exercises are typically conducted. This phase is crucial because it focuses on ensuring that forces are fully prepared for deployment. During this phase, units engage in extensive training exercises that simulate operational environments, allowing them to practice and refine their skills, coordination, and command structures.

These large force exercises serve to validate the readiness of the personnel and equipment, ensuring that they can operate effectively together in a real-world scenario. By actively participating in these exercises, units also identify any weaknesses or gaps in their capabilities and make necessary adjustments before they are called to respond to contingencies. This phase effectively culminates the training and preparation efforts initiated in earlier phases.
