USAF's "Ready Airman Training" should improve USAF's capability by spreading deployment training over a more extended period instead of squeezing it into the month before deployment.Summary
Rachel S. Cohen writing in DefenseNews, makes the following points:
- The longtime expeditionary deployment model has been replaced with a systematic approach to allow personnel more time for rest and training between deployments.
- Four phases, six months for each phase:
- Force generation.
- Process "reset," "prepare.
- Ready.
- Available to commit."
