DRRS-N is the Navy’s mission essential task/capabilitiesbased readiness reporting system. DRRS-N is the tool all
Navy organizations will use to report readiness data. Navy
readiness reporting will be performed at various levels of
operation command, from deployable entities up to service
DoD component headquarters.
Instructor Note: Show SLIDE 1 - Introduction
At every level of operation, it is imperative that every
individual involved with readiness reporting be up to speed
on DRRS-N policy. Having a good foundation in DRRS-N
policy will:
• Ensure greater success in using DRRS-N.
• Ensure accurate and timely readiness data.
In this presentation, we will cover: DRRS-N’s background
history, assessment rule sets, the transition plan, training
policies, and keys to success.

• The 9-11 attacks were one of the events that highlighted
the shortfalls within the current readiness reporting
system (SORTSREPNV).
Instructor Note: Show SLIDE 4 - DRRS Background.1
• In June 2002, Department of Defense Directive 7730.65
established the Defense Readiness Reporting System
(DRRS). This directive mandated the implementation of
a capabilities-based, adaptive, near real-time readiness
reporting system based on Mission Essential Tasks
(METs). When complete, the Defense Readiness
Reporting System will transform the way readiness is
measured and reported for U.S. military forces.
• The current Department of Defense (DoD) Readiness
Reporting systems do not provide Component
Commanders with the level of detail required to plan and
execute the National Military Strategy. DRRS is
allowing the DoD to align readiness reporting and utilize
standard reporting metrics across all services.
25 Feb 2010
Instructor Note: (Historical Perspective) On the afternoon of 9-11, the
Navy was tasked with providing combat air patrols over New York City
and Washington DC. Two aircraft carriers and their air wings were
detached to support the mission. According to their SORTS, these units
were not capable of supporting full combat operations; yet, they were
still successful in supporting the CAP mission. In the eyes of DoD, these
units were not deployable for any missions, because SORTS did not
articulate the ability of a unit to perform any specific missions.

• The Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS), as
DoD's single readiness reporting system, is dramatically
improving the assessment, visibility, and force
management of our forces and organizations.
Instructor Note: Show SLIDE 5 - DRRS Background.2
• DRRS is more of a capability assessment system
designed, first, to demonstrate whether the Department
can conduct its assigned missions and, second, to
understand where additional resources, training, or
improved processes might help.
25 Feb 2010
Instructor Note: (Historical Perspective) For many years, all DoD
services have reported readiness using the SORTS system. Only the
Navy, Coast Guard, and Military Sealift Command report Primary
Mission Area (PRMAR) M-ratings in SORTSREPNV. This has allowed
Maritime units to show capability down to the broad PRMAR level. The
Army, Air Force and Marines have only reported readiness at the
resource level (Personnel, Supply, Equipment, and Training C-rates).

DRRS is designed to support a capabilities-based planning
process that accounts for greater uncertainty in threats and
capabilities. It aids the Department of Defense in
forecasting its ability to execute a diverse set of missions
ranging from humanitarian assistance to domestic
counterterrorism to large-scale regional conflicts, and
enables them to compare risks across time and between
multiple theaters and operations.

• Using the MET analysis features within Unit assessment,
the information displayed on the status of the resources,
and the level of training available to the unit,
Commanders can assess their organization’s ability to
conduct assigned missions.
• The emphasis on METs allows all branches of service
and agencies to report readiness status in a uniform and
consistent manner, thereby, improving planning and
analysis.

• Computed assessments are determined by averaging the
index values for capabilities and MET.
Instructor Note: Show SLIDE 15 - Computed Assessments
• For computed assessments that rollup (in a PESTO pillar
or Computed column), the NTA index value averages
dictate the cell color. For example, in the “T” pillar, the
average is 79, therefore, the Computed cell will be
yellow at the Capability level.
• For a Computed MET value, which is the average of all
PESTO ratings for a MET, the index value determines
the cell color. For example, if the index value is 78, the
cell will be yellow.
• The color index ranges are:
· Green = 80-100
25 Feb 2010
· Yellow = 60-79
· Red = 0-59
Instructor Note: (Supplemental Information) The unit cannot directly
affect the calculated assessments through DRRS-N. The only way a unit
can change the calculated assessments is by updating the data used to
feed the authoritative databases (NTMPS, AMSRR, SHARP, ADW, etc)
that feed DRRS-N. Current data onboard the unit in these systems
should be used by the CDR to supersede data displayed in DRRS-N.

MET, Capability, and Core assessments all use the same
rating system. The three assessment ratings are: Yes,
Qualified Yes, and No.
Instructor Note: Show SLIDE 17 - Assessment Values
• Yes (Y)/Green – Indicates the organization can
successfully perform its assigned capability/MET to the
prescribed standard. This rating should reflect
demonstrated performance in training and operations.
• Qualified Yes (Q)/Yellow – Use as a Commander's
subjective upgrade, to indicate that the organization is
expected to accomplish its assigned capability/MET to
the prescribed standard, under most conditions. This
performance, however, has not been observed or
demonstrated in operations or training. Organizations
with this rating can be employed for those tasks.
• No (N)/Red – Indicates the organization cannot
perform their assigned capability/MET to the
prescribed standard.
25 Feb 2010
Instructor Note: Select the Y, Q, or N graphics for an explanation.
Instructor Note: (Supplemental Information) A Commander may have
assessed a “Yes” for the unit’s ability to conduct underway replenishment
though the task was only conducted during daylight. The higher command
wants to know what that unit’s capability is to conduct underway replenishment
at night. The Commander assesses that the unit can perform underway
replenishment at night based on his judgment, and observation that the unit
conducted night navigation to standard, and conducted underway replenishment
to standard, though not under night conditions. He therefore assigns a
“Qualified Yes” to the unit’s ability to conduct underway.

versions) contains on-line training modules and embedded
tutorials that teach users about DRRS-N policies and
maintain DRRS-N software skills. The initial emphasis of
this training will be on the Afloat module, which is
consistent with the Fleet implementation plan for FY08 and
FY09.

• The NPDC designated SWOS as the Lead learning center
for DRRS-N training, to ensure that pipeline training
opportunities are routinely available for all officers
enroute to billets that require a working knowledge of
readiness reporting requirements.
Instructor Note: Show SLIDE 30 - Pipeline Training
• This pipeline training has extended to other warfare
communities (Air, Sub, etc.).
• The NPDC leads efforts in identifying the enlisted
DRRS-N training customers and the optimum means to
focus training resources that will eventually lead to
DRRS-N training certification.

In order to provide sufficient training opportunities to other
users not directly satisfied through initial installation, online, or pipeline training, periodic DRRS-N training
sessions are conducted at Fleet concentration areas. These
sessions are primarily held in Norfolk/Oceana, San Diego,
Jacksonville/ Mayport, Hawaii, Whidbey Island, Lemoore,
and in forward operating theaters. These training sessions
will increase in frequency as DRRS-N is introduced to the
Fleet, as coordinated by USFF.

• Use the expertise available at your TYCOM staff.
DRRS-N is a new system, and thus the expertise resides
mostly at the TYCOM staff and above.
Instructor Note: Show SLIDE 33 - Lessons Learned
• Ensure your people take advantage of the training
resources available to them. There are multiple training
resources available in the form of embedded training
within the DRRS-N application, periodic waterfront
briefs, and technical support.
• Keep the DRRS-N feeder systems up-to-date.
The success of the PESTO data is rooted in the fleet’s
ability to keep the feeder systems as up-to- date as
possible.
