What are the three phases of the Army Time Management System?

• A. Green, Amber, Red
• B. Red, Green, Amber
• C. Amber, Green, Red
• D. Green, Red, Amber

Answer: (A)

The Army Time Management System uses a simple traffic-light approach to signal task status. Green means the work is on track and progressing as planned. Amber signals a warning — there’s a risk or delay that could affect the schedule, but it can be recovered with action. Red indicates a significant delay or problem that requires immediate corrective steps and possibly a higher level of involvement to get back on track. The order Green → Amber → Red reflects moving from on plan to at-risk to urgent, which is why Green, Amber, Red is the correct sequence.
