1 hr confidence:
operational activities have been deteriorating for years Explanation: "apresto" refers to "preparedness, readiness", however in this context I would be inclined to use the more general term "operational activities", which is more appropriate in a military contest and also more idiomatic. I realise you lose some accuracy but the text does not suffer too much as a consequence. |
