When is TSRA 1 conducted during the FRTP cycle?

The Training and Readiness Assessment (TSRA) 1 is conducted during the pre-deployment sustainment phase of the Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) cycle. This phase occurs after the basic and advanced training phases have been completed and serves as a crucial evaluation point to ensure that units are prepared for their upcoming deployments.

The pre-deployment sustainment phase is designed to maintain and enhance the readiness of a unit leading up to deployment, ensuring that training remains relevant and effective. Conducting the TSRA 1 during this time allows leadership to assess the unit's readiness levels, address any shortcomings, and implement necessary training adjustments before deployment, thereby maximizing operational effectiveness.

This timing emphasizes the importance of continuous assessment and readiness verification just before a unit enters a high-stakes operational environment, ensuring they are fully prepared to undertake their assigned missions.
