What is DRRS?What is DRRS?

The Defense Readiness Reporting System:

• Focuses on unit readiness primarily by assessing unit capability with Mission Essential Tasks (Y/Q/N) in addition to standard resource metrics (P/R/S/T).

• Requires Services to provide OSD access to authoritative databases (personnel, equipment, training, medical, real property, etc..).

• Allows planners at all levels to bridge the “knowledge gap” between readiness status, war plans and COAs. OSD, COCOMs, JS and Services can have access to current unit level information to facilitate sourcing, deployment and operational employment decisions.

• Answers “ready for what?” questions posed by the OSD, the COCOMs and JS.

What is DRRS?What is DRRS?

Expand the way we measure force status• Focus on forces and missions by assessing unit capability with Mission Essential Tasks (Y/Q/N) • Continues standard resource metrics (P/S/R/T)• Includes Joint, operational units and CSAs

Focus how we think of readiness• Beyond narrow resource accounting• Synonymous with capability—What can forces do? • In the context of assigned missions• Primarily assess

Improve our ability to assess risk• Uses collaborative tools linked to near-real time data• Operational context—What can’t forces do?

Link deficiencies to operational impact• Builds in the identification of mitigation strategies• Considers readiness reporting, risk assessment and adaptive planning as one large, iterative process

Answers the “Ready for What?” questionDRRS provides:• Rapid scenario-based readiness assessments• Planning and course of action options • Higher confidence in the quality of data and assessment results

Why Are We Implementing DRRS?Why Are We Implementing DRRS?

• OSD has mandated all Services move towards a single readiness reporting system – Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS):

– June 2002 DoD Directive 7730.65 Establishes DRRS. Measures and reports readiness of military forces & supporting infrastructure to meet missions & goals assigned by the Secretary of Defense using a MET construct– December 2004 Strategic Planning Guidance. The Service Secretaries, the Directors of Combat Support Agencies, and the Joint Community will report mission readiness and force management data in DRRS according to Mission Essential Tasks (METs)...”

The new readiness reporting system provides the Army several major improvements: • Allows the opportunity to break the “SORTS anchor” by retiring our legacy system and simplifying reporting procedures.

• It improves the accuracy of reporting unit readiness.

DRRS-A ImplementationDRRS-A Implementation

• We are currently in a 4-phase plan to bring the Army in line with the OSD DRRS requirements.

• Our plan gives us the roadmap to replace our legacy ASORTS system by October 2006 with a program called DRRS-Army.

• Our current focus is to complete three major tasks by October 2006:

#1 Complete DRRS-A software development and have it fielded to the Army.

#2 Complete all individual DRRS-A Training and conduct a Proof of Principle test

#3 When fielding and testing are complete, retire the current USR system.

• We will continue to refine Readiness Reporting requirements until October 2007, when we expect to field the next major version of DRRS-A.

• DoDD 7730.65 requires Service Secretaries:– Identify and include as measured units within ESORTS operational and support organizations

within the scope of their responsibilities needed to execute mission essential tasks in support of Combatant Commanders and Service-assigned missions.

– Develop resource and training standards for all organizations designated for inclusion in ESORTS. Collect and report metrics and supporting data for these organizations as specified by DoD implementation instructions.

• Army retains current reporting requirements– Operational Units

– MTOE units with AA UIC– MTOE units with FF UIC; and major headquarters– TDA units that already submit reports– Training Base: RC Training Divisions, Brigades, Battalions– APS– Derivative UICs (DUIC) already reporting, or when directed to report.

[Note: OSD DRRS Serial 2.0 Guidance requires reports from all DUICs. Current CJCSI and Army policy: Services determine when DUICs report. Currently HQDA, Army Commands/ASCC/DRU with ADCON determine if and when DUICs report readiness]

• Army adds new reporting requirements per DRRS Serial guidance– Institutional Army

– Select Installations start October 2006 (focus on Power Generation/Power Projection Platforms)

– Other TDA units: Phased implementation pending refinement of requirements with Army Commands, ASCCs, DRUs

• DoDD 730.65 directs Service Secretaries – Develop resource and training standards for all organizations designated for

inclusion in ESORTS. Collect and report metrics and supporting data for these organizations as specified by DoD implementation instructions.

• OSD DRRS Serial Guidance 1.0 directs Services report– Core Tasks, Major Plans, and Named Operations– MET/METL assessments IAW Y/Q/N criteria

• CJCSI 3401.01D GSORTS requirements not rescinded • Recommend Army add MET assessments to current AR 220-1

– Army units develop and report readiness against METL based on appropriate TOE mission statement and MTP for the unit SRC (applies through all phases of ARFORGEN)

– Army units with directed mission (DEF, ILO) develop and report readiness based on directed MET

– Army Brigade FF report includes all assigned or OPCON units– Army Division FF report includes organic units (STB, CPs)– Army Division and higher headquarters develop and report readiness for Major

Plans and Named Operations

UNCLASSIFIED - FOUO

“Core Tasks”• Army units develop and report readiness against Core METs based on appropriate TOE and MTP

for the “type” unit.• Core Tasks become the basis for assessment by units in ARFORGEN. • Unit Commander considers MTOE resources in assessment of ability to execute unit core

mission.

“Named Operation” (OIF/OEF/ONE)• Army units sourced for named operation, or provided a non-standard or “in lieu of” mission, are

considered to have a directed mission. They will develop METL and report readiness based on that directed mission.

• Unit Commander considers mission required resources in assessment of ability to execute directed mission.

“Major Plans” (Korea Peninsula War Plans)• Army two-star headquarters and theater strategic commands develop and report MET for Major

Plans when directed by HQDA/ASCC.

METs are assessed on the capability of the unit to “fight tonight”

Army moves from C-Level to Y/Q/N

• “Yes” (Y) Assessment: Organization can accomplish task to standard under specified conditions. “Yes” assessment should reflect demonstrated performance in training or operations whenever possible. Unit possesses the necessary resources, or those resources have been explicitly identified to the unit, to allow it to execute tonight.

• “Qualified Yes” (Q) Assessment: Organization is expected to accomplish the task to standard, but this performance has not been observed or demonstrated in training or operations. Organizations assessing their task or mission as a “Qualified Yes” can be employed for those tasks. Unit possesses the necessary resources, or those resources have been explicitly identified to the unit, to allow it to execute tonight.

• “No” Assessment: The organization is unable to accomplish the task to standard at this time.

In DRRS; “Yes” or “Qualified Yes” indicates the unit is considered Deployable and Available for COCOM use

Army’s Overall Y/Q/N AssessmentArmy’s Overall Y/Q/N Assessment

• Core Mission Assessment: Commander considers MTOE resources in assessment of ability to execute unit core mission

• Directed Mission Assessment: Commander considers mission required resources in assessment of ability to execute directed mission

• Need to set thresholds for “Y/Q/N” in AR 220-1

– If MET is rated “Untrained”, Commander cannot assess a “Yes” or “Qualified Yes” against that task.

– If any METs are “No”, Commander cannot assess overall “Yes” or “Qualified Yes”

– If MET is rated “Needs Practice” and the unit lacks resources, Commander can assess Task as “Qualified Yes” only if risks can be mitigated; otherwise, Task is assessed as “No”


UNCLASSIFIED- FOUO

UNCLASSIFIED - FOUO

How Hard is “Y”How Hard is “Y”

• OSD DRRS Serial 2.0 Guidance requires more Y than Q/N tasks

– If the majority of the Command level METs are assessed as “Yes”, and the remaining METs are assessed as “Qualified Yes”, then the overall assessment should be “Yes”.

– If the majority of the Command level METs are assessed as “Qualified Yes” and the remaining METs are assessed as “Yes”, then the overall mission assessment should be “Qualified Yes”.

– If any of the tasks are assessed as “No (Red), then the Commander must make a judgment as to whether the mission objectives can still be accomplished. Any “No” task would normally preclude an overall mission assessment of “Yes”. If the overall mission is rated other than “No” the commander should clearly explain how the plan will be accomplished despite the inability to accomplish the MET and any mitigation actions that will be taken.

• OSD guidance inconsistent with Army training doctrine. Recommend Army set high threshold for Y

– Y means Ready for War … Now– Any MET rated N precludes a Unit Overall Assessment of Y

ARMY TRAINING METRICSTrained (T) (Green): Unit is trained and has

demonstrated proficiency in accomplishing the task to Army Standard. Task performance judged to be free of significant shortcomings.

Practice (P) (Amber): Unit can perform the task with some shortcomings. Performance is not achieved to standard without some difficulty or unit has failed to perform some tasks to standard. Shortcomings not severe enough to require retraining.

Untrained (U) (Red): Unit cannot demonstrate an ability to achieve wartime training proficiency. Leader prepares comprehensive plan to train all supporting tasks not executed to standard.

DRRS METRICS

“Yes” (Y) (Green) Assessment: Organization can accomplish task to standard under specified conditions. “Yes” assessment should reflect demonstrated performance in training or operations whenever possible.

Training StrategyTraining Strategy

Overall training concept will occur in two phases:

• Phase I:

– Includes an DRRS-A information campaign starting in March 2006 with briefs posted on the Army readiness website, publication in professional periodicals and interviews on the Army news channels. An Army Readiness Conference will be conducted in late August 2006.

• Phase II:

– Includes executive level leadership briefings to Army Commands and their primary staff. This will include DRRS-A demonstrations online computer conference, and/or on site presentations beginning in May 2006.

– The DRRS-A Mobile Training Team (MTT) will conduct distance learning training for battalion, separate company level USR officers beginning in July 2006.

– The GCCS-A PM will develop self paced courses (web enabled) and train the trainer packets.


UNCLASSIFIED- FOUO

UNCLASSIFIED - FOUO

Where We Are TodayWhere We Are Today

• The GCCS-A PM is overseeing two major contractor supported efforts in the software development of DRRS-A.

• The PM is also putting together the training packets and POIs for the MTTs, Distance Learning Sites, Train the Trainer/Self Paced courses.

• We are preparing the staffing of a “rapid action” revision of AR 220-1 that will include the DRRS-A changes.

• We are preparing the Proof or Principle message for the August 2006 test date.

• Commanders/Agency Directors will also assess the ability of the organization to execute the mission essential task list (METL) to meet mission objectives.

– If the majority of the Command level METs are assessed as “Yes”, and the remaining METs are assessed as “Qualified Yes”, then the overall assessment should be “Yes”.

– If the majority of the Command level METs are assessed as “Qualified Yes” and the remaining METs are assessed as “Yes”, then the overall mission assessment should be “Qualified Yes”.

– If any of the tasks are assessed as “No (Red), then the Commander must make a judgment as to whether the mission objectives can still be accomplished. Any “No” task would normally preclude an overall mission assessment of “Yes”. If the overall mission is rated other than “No” the commander should clearly explain how the plan will be accomplished despite the inability to accomplish the MET and any mitigation actions that will be taken.
