Usage Note
Approntare means to make something ready for use or deployment — troops, equipment, a plan. It is more formal and deliberate than preparare (to prepare) and implies putting the finishing touches in place. It takes avere in compound tenses. Mostly found in military, administrative, and journalistic registers.
