• A. SMA
• B. SMI
• C. C2X
• D. TSTA

Answer: (B)

The work-up cycle is a staged progression to restore and verify combat readiness. After the initial maintenance window, which handles major upkeep and upgrades, the next phase is a Scheduled Maintenance Inspection. This phase typically occurs about 90 to 120 days after the maintenance window and serves as a thorough check to confirm that all maintenance actions were completed correctly, systems are configured properly, and the unit is fit to advance to higher-intensity testing. It provides a formal point to identify and correct any remaining deficiencies before moving on. Following this inspection, the cycle proceeds into major exercises and final training phases to validate full readiness prior to deployment.
