Brigades from the 101st Airborne Division conduct a complex set of missions that included missions such air assaults involving multiple battalions seizing an objective for follow-on forces, then conducting an advisory mission focused on the unit's upcoming deployment to Afghanistan, with only a one-day turnaround. This training was conducted throughout the summer months of 2014 at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, La.
JRTC is one of three maneuver Combat Training Centers, along with the National Training Center, at Fort Irwin, California, and the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels, Germany.
These training centers provide a large area for units to conduct maneuvers and to validate the training and readiness of active-component and reserve-component units, as well as multinational forces, as part of the Army Force Generation cycle, known as ARFORGEN.
The ARFORGEN model, approved by the secretary of the Army and chief of staff in 2006, revolves around three phases of readiness: reset, train/ready, and available. ARFORGEN serves to validate a unit's availability to respond to the needs of the combatant commanders.
