Prepare phase focus?

Explanation:
In the Prepare phase, the focus is on shaping and adjusting the force for future operations, including streamlining the force to conserve resources and reallocate capabilities where they’ll be most needed. Deactivating units fits this idea because it reflects trimming and realigning force structure so you’re not maintaining unnecessary elements while you’re getting ready for the next mission. This helps preserve readiness and funding for the units and capabilities that will actually be required when deployment occurs. Immediate deployment readiness is about the current, imminent action rather than preparing for the next cycle. Building toward peak unit readiness while shielded from deployment describes a ramp-up for a potential future deployment, which is more about increasing readiness than reducing it. Conducting humanitarian missions is a type of operation, not the phase’s focus.
