• A. A budget forecasting model

• C. A training pipeline
• D. A deployment scheduling tool

Answer: (B)

AFFORGEN is the Air Force’s sustainable, capacity-driven model for presenting forces to Joint Force Commanders. It focuses on force generation in a way that ensures a ready, defensible package of capabilities across time horizons, so command authorities can plan operations with a predictable set of forces that can actually be generated and sustained. This isn’t about budgeting, a training pipeline, or a deployment schedule; it’s about how units are prepared, certified, and allocated to meet time-phased requirements, balancing readiness, manpower, equipment, and sustainability to provide a realistic force package to joint planners.
