Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN)

Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) is a structured process used by the U.S. Army to ensure that its units are prepared and available for deployment. It involves a cyclical system of training, readiness assessments, and deployment to keep forces capable and responsive to national needs. Units rotate through phases of readiness: Reset (recover and prepare), Train (build skills), and Prepare (ready for deployment). This systematic approach helps maintain a sustainable and ready army, ensuring that soldiers and equipment are at peak performance when called upon for missions.
