Which phase involves deploying forces to support operations?

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

Answer: (A)

Deploying forces to support operations happens in the commit phase. This is the point at which forces are moved into position and actually enter the theater to begin or continue operations, putting plans into action. The other phases set the stage or restore after action: Ready means units are prepared and available but not yet moved; Prepare covers planning and building readiness; Reset occurs after operations to reconstitute and reallocate forces. So the act of deploying to support operations is the defining action of the commit phase.
