Which of the following describes the 6 + 2 plan?

The 6 + 2 plan refers to a specific readiness posture for Carrier Strike Groups (CSGs) in which 6 CSGs are available for deployment within a short timeframe of 30 days, supplemented by an additional 2 CSGs that can be ready to deploy within a slightly longer timeframe of 90 days. This plan ensures that the naval forces maintain a balance between readiness and operational capability, allowing for immediate response to crises while also providing a buffer for future operations. By having a designated number of groups at different readiness levels, the military can effectively manage its resources and maintain a continuous operational presence. This dual-layer readiness structure is crucial for addressing unexpected demands and sustaining military commitments globally.
