Which action in AFFORGEN establishes base access for follow-on forces?

• A. Force Element
• B. Foreign Base Lease
• C. Open the Airbase
• D. Initial Access

Answer: (C)

Open the Airbase is the action that unlocks a base for follow-on forces by coordinating with base leadership, security, and support agencies to grant entry and set up essential facilities and services. It ensures gates, security, airfield operations, housing, fuel, maintenance, and communications are ready so arriving units can actually stage and operate. The other options refer to different aspects: the force element relates to the units themselves, a foreign base lease is about legal access to facilities, and initial access is about the theater entry phase before base access is established.
