What does READ E 6 assess during the FRTP cycle?

The selection of readiness for Tier 2 (Unit Tactical) evaluation as the correct answer highlights the primary focus of the READ E 6 assessment within the Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP) cycle. This assessment indicates that the unit is prepared to engage in more complex operations which require a certain level of proficiency in tactical and operational skills.

During this phase, the emphasis is on ensuring that the unit can successfully apply its training in realistic scenarios that mimic the stresses and demands of a tactical environment. This involves evaluating the integration of the crew with advanced systems and ensuring that personnel can execute warfighting tasks effectively in a coordinated manner.

While other options might relate to different aspects of readiness or assessment milestones, they do not specifically address the objectives of the READ E 6 evaluation within the context of the FRTP, which is tailored to prepare a unit for tactical-level operations. Thus, the focus on Tier 2 readiness directly correlates with the training goals of the FRTP, making this answer appropriate.
