During which phase of the FRTP are multi-unit, multi-platform trainings conducted?

Multi-unit, multi-platform trainings are conducted during the Integrated/Advanced phase of the Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP). This phase is characterized by the integration of various units and platforms to conduct sophisticated training exercises that simulate real-world operations. The focus during this phase is on honing interoperability and operational readiness across different systems and forces, ensuring that all participating units can effectively work together in joint missions.

The Integrated/Advanced phase typically follows the Basic and Sustainment phases, where initial training and maintenance of skills occur. In contrast, the Basic phase focuses on individual unit training and foundational skills, while the Sustainment phase emphasizes maintaining proficiency and readiness after primary training has been completed. The Maintenance phase is concerned primarily with the upkeep and technical readiness of equipment rather than operational training. Thus, the Integrated/Advanced phase is the designated time for complex exercises that require coordination and cooperation among multiple units and platforms, which is essential for preparing for operational deployments.
