2. Introduction This presentation covers the following topics:
DRRS-S Course
Background
Assessments
Reporting Rules
SORTS Reporting
DRRS-S Accounts
CNAF Readiness Brief
Available Training Keys to Success

3. Background – How We Manage Readiness
GFM OPLAN/CONPLAN
Joint Staff
OPNAV N43
Overall Sponsor for Navy Readiness
$FHP, $Ranges, $Ordnance
OPNAV/Fleet
FFC/CPF
Allocates resources across TYCOMS
Talking Point: Readiness reporting is a result of a balancing of requirements (GFM, MAP, ROC/POE, FRTP, T&R matrices) and resources (R+ month allocation via Current Readiness standards).
MAP: Master Aviation Plan
Commander, Naval Air Force schedule for all squadrons
Produced to meet GFM requirements while supporting Force recapitalization (Type/Model/Series [T/M/S] transition plans)
Future: Moving to a common, integrated NAE process to:
Meet operational demand and recapitalization requirements
Provide schedule transparency across the Enterprise
Institutionalize resource responsiveness
Evaluate collective fiscal requirements

4. Background – CVW Funding Profile (OFRP)
Example of a 27-month CVW profile. These profiles are notional; the MAP (Master Aviation Plan) is the planning tool.
OFRP = Optimized Fleet Response Plan
The chart shows on 27 months even though the OFRP is 36 months. Units will repeat months to stretch out the FRTP to a notional total of 36 months.
Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP) notional profile in use all CSGs
During the post deployment sustain there is a requirement for a SUSTEX every 120 days which will require an increase in funding in the form of Afloat MESH
During follow-on deployments funding will go back to 80%

Per CNAP N7: FDNF has been dropped from the discussion and they will adhere to the C7F Training Plan. For the CVN and CVW, this is an annual plan repeated every year with CTF-70 Certification events every other year (VALIANT SHIELD). For HSC/HSM expeditionary players on CG/DDG's, they should be aligned to the CSG - they may deploy independently of the CSG, but they are supposed to train with them. For HSC/HSM on ARGs, they will follow the ARG O-FRP. VAQ is unchanged - have heard no discussion on this one. LCS is a separate animal and will continue to train on their own timeline.

8. Background – Mission Essential Tasks
METs are tasks considered essential to accomplish and support missions and requirements assigned by a Joint or Naval Commander
The Mission Essential Task List (METL) is based on the Unit’s ROC/POE and maps tasks to METs
Each MET contains a set of conditions and standards
The METL is common to all units within a Responsible Organization (RespOrg)
Assessment of Mission Essential Tasks (METs) is the basis for the DRRS-S readiness system. Each unit type has a list of METs (Called a METL – Mission Essential Task List) which is based on Warfare Mission Areas in the approved ROC/POE. METs come from the UNTL (Universal Naval Task List) which is a common document to the Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard.
The MET (also referred to as an NTA – Navy Tactical Level Task) is a task which contains conditions and standards. The NTA itself is unclassified. When conditions and standards are applied, the MET becomes classified.
The METL is specific to a TMS and required mission sets. In some cases, a TMS may have more than one METL. The METL group is called a RespOrg (Responsible Organization). METLs are developed by the Type Wing and approved via the COC by US Fleet Forces Command. Examples
The VFA community has specific METLs for FA-18C, VFA E/F, and VFC.
The H-60S community also has several METLs due to the various mission sets (HSC EXP, HSC CVW, HSC NSW).

9. Background – DRRS-S
DRRS-S is the tool that DoD organizations use to report readiness to all levels of the chain of command
DRRS-S requires two assessments
Mission (Standards, METs, and Core)
SORTS

11. Assessments – Mission Assessment Overview
The DRRS-S assessment contains the following steps
Assess the MET Standards
Assess the MET and provide MET comments
Assess the Core and provide Core comments 1 2 3
Access the mission and Core assessments from the ESORTS tab on the DRRS-S main menu

12. Assessments – Mission Assessment1 2
Core Assessment
MET Assessments
The default view for the Mission Assessment screen is the Overall view. This displays all assigned unit missions (Core in this case) and all assigned Mission Essential Tasks (METs) associated with the unit’s missions. Most units will have one Core mission.
There is two ways to navigate to the MET page.
1. Use the drop down to select “CORE”
2. Click on the word “CORE”

13. Assessments – MET Assessment
Each MET needs to be assessed first before your Core Mission assessment can be submitted
You can click anywhere on the MET line to edit and assess that specific MET

14. Assessments – MET Assessment1 2 3 4 5 6
Each MET assessment requires the following actions
Assess the MET standards (select “Update” when done)
DRRS-S provides a calculated assessment based on the standard assessments
Provide a current MET assessment (Y/Q/N)
Provide an expected MET assessment (Y/Q/N) and anticipated change data
Provide MET comments for assessments for MET assessed as Q or N
Save or Approve the MET assessment when complete

15. Assessments – Standard Assessment1 2
In the middle of the page you will see the standards sections
1. You are only required to complete the “Assessed Value” area as per the criterion stated in the standard
2. After updating the assessed value, click the “Update” button and the status will update for that standard
Notes:
1. If there are no changes required for any of that MET’s standards, you can select the “Update All” button and proceed to the overall assessment of the MET
2. Do not assess the Observed Value and Date
3. You must update or change the standard before you can Save or Approve the MET assessment

16. Assessments – MET Assessment
All squadron METs have at least the following three standards
Resource
Standard
Data Source
Assessed value options
Personnel
Unit manned to fit/fill % standards as established by Manning Control Authority Fleet (MCAF) Directive 15-1
TYCOM Monthly FIT Report (TMFR) published by CNAP N13
Yes or No
Yes- unit meets/exceeds the required FIT/FIL
No – unit does not meet the required FIT/FIL
Equipment
Average monthly aircraft mission capable status reported by Aviation Management Supply and Readiness Reporting (AMSRR) per published deployment month thresholds in established TYCOM current readiness standards
AMSRR and
Current Readiness Standards
Yes – unit meets/exceeds the average monthly MC rate
No – unit does not meet the average monthly MC rate
Training
Aircrew proficiency as evaluated by TYCOM-approved training and readiness matrix to wing training manual performance standards. Training proficiency measured in terms of Training Figure of Merit (TFOM) per CNAP/CNALINST series
SHARP CRA
Numerical (TFOM value for the MET)
The TFOM calculation is defined in CNAP/CNALINSTR A (T&R) in chapter 4.

17. Assessments – Commander’s Assessment
The following values are used to assess the Core and MET assessments:
Display
Value
Description
Yes (Green)
The unit can successfully perform an assigned task to the prescribed standards and conditions.
Qualified Yes (Yellow)
The unit can accomplish all or most of the task to standard under most conditions.
No (Red)
The unit cannot perform an assigned task to the prescribed standards and conditions at this time.
Not Assessed (striped)
The task has not yet been assessed
Draft Assessment (*)
The assessment has been completed in draft awaiting final approval by the unit commander. Y Q N Q*

18. Assessments – General Guidance
The Commander’s assessment shall not be green for any MET if the unit fails to complete the full training requirements for any phase of the FRTP
Always assess to the MCO standard and keep comments pointed and operationally focused
“MCO ready” is defined as a unit’s ability to deliver its full design capability as delineated in the ROC/POE and should not be measured against the requirement of a specific OPLAN
Unit Commanding Officers should not report “Y/Green” across the board just because a unit is “green” for its current FRTP phase

Detachments comment on losses/swap outs and the squadron’s plan to fill gaps
Equipment Remarks
Squadrons comment on long term aircraft maintenance issues and equipment shortages
Detachments comment on shorter term NMC/PMC issues
Your get well date in your comments drives your next DRRS-S update
Training Remarks
Use the SHARP 7.0 “Readiness Assessment (CRA)” report to explain your Ef issues
Use the SHARP 7.0 “Crews” report to explain your Pf issues
Detailed Pf data is not visible on SHARP (Web) when deployed so you must explain in comments
General Remarks/Tips
Use plain language; this is not a message, so use sentence case
DRRS-S is about MCO capability and not what your unit is tasked with currently
Do not use SORTS terminology in DRRS-S comments
Don’t just write, “Readiness as per FRTP phase”

25. Assessments – Commander’s Remarks
The issues you comment on in DRRS-S change depending on your FRTP Phase
Maintenance
Aircraft availability to conduct ULT/ACTC generation
Impact of aircraft on loan to NAWDC/TOP GUN/other squadrons or in Depot or MODs
Single shift maintenance due to maintenance manning
Predicting aircrew on board for ARP and AWF
Basic
Aircrew availability and training for ARP/AWF
Managing aircraft MODs /aircraft availability for ARP/AWF/C2X
Execution of ordnance
Integrated/Advanced
Finalizing aircrew training for C2X and turning “Green”
Sustain/Deploy
Degradations due to AOR restrictions on tactical flying
Plan to maintain training while deployed
Ability to retain and train aircrew for post deployment sustainment

26. Assessments – Good Sample Remarks
Overall: R+10. Next FRTP event: C2X in July. Deployment date: 15 October. CO’s top readiness concerns are aircrew manning, CPO manning, and completion of aircrew training during C2X. See comments below
Personnel: FIT 78% / FILL 89%, AMEX 90%. #1 Personnel concern is aircrew and CPO manning: 15 of 17 Aircrew assigned. No aircrew gains expected prior to C2X. E7-E8 manning is 55% of required FIT. 5 of 9 E7 assigned causing the squadron barely maintain two shifts of maintenance over the next two months. Working with the Wing to get resolve our CPO manning and gain TAD aircrew.
Equipment: Unable to make MC rate for R+10 due to critical parts shortages (maybe list high priority parts). Lack of MC aircraft has resulted in a loss of 10 sorties over the past two months.
Training: All METs are capped at yellow until the completion of C2X in July. NTAs 1.2.1, 1.2.2, and are degraded for Self Escort Strike and Electronic Attack tasks. Expect these METs to change to GREEN after the completion of C2X at the end of July. We will conduct extra sorties post C2X to complete crews and attain green in METS and (expect completion by 5 August).

27. Assessments – Bad Sample Remarks
Overall: Integrated phase. The Fighting Tigers are ready for world-wide deployment and all combat tasking. Squadron is YELLOW overall. DRRS-S submitted due to change-of-command 12 June. Squadron shows REDs and YELLOWs in most METs, however, I will continue to assess the squadron as YELLOW overall. Expecting green in most areas after completion of C2X. CO Sends
Personnel: FIT 78% / FILL 89%, AMEX 90%. Shortages in multiple rates.
Equipment: BUNO in MOD, BUNOs and require extensive maintenance
Training: Require more ordnance to complete aircrew qualifications prior to C2X. We will require a waiver for AGM-XX and BLU-YY. Unable to execute missile shoot.

28. Assessments – CVW/CSCW-1 units only
Under the reduced METL the old CARR no longer works thus CVW/CSCW-1 Staff reports under their staff UIC
The staff can view each squadron’s assessment in DRRS-S but not as a group
Squadrons can still submit their comments to the staff to inform the CAG/CSCW-1 comments
The CAG/CSCW-1 comments still reflect the ability of the wing as a whole to perform their various missions

29. Reporting Rules - Frequency
Submit assessments in DRRS-S as follows:
Within 24 hours of a significant change in readiness
Within 30 days of the last assessment
Following completion of major FRTP milestones to include TSTA, ARP, Air Wing Fallon, and C2X
When otherwise directed
Assessments must be submitted in DRRS-S within 24 hours of a significant change in readiness. An updated assessment must be submitted within 30 days of the last assessment, even if there is no change in readiness.
Notes: (1) Your ISIC may also direct a DRRS-S assessment based on COCOM or Fleet
Commander reporting requirement.
(2) Submission not required for changes of command.

32. CNAF Readiness Brief - CVW

33. CNAF Readiness Brief - Non-CVW

34. Training Plan – Methods
Three avenues for DRRS-S training are:
On-line and embedded training
CNAF Readiness Reference Tool
Help functions in DRRS-S
Pipeline training
PXO Course
HSM/HSC OIC Course
VR OPS Officer Conference
CVW DRRS-S Training during the FRTP
Waterfront briefs
Fleet concentration sites – at least annually
As requested by units

35. Keys to Success
CO/OIC gets 100% of the vote in the Commander’s assessment
The unit needs to understand their FRTP cycle and their readiness expectations
Remarks should be focused on readiness issues for your squadron/detachment
Comment on your current degraders and your plan to get healthy
Ensure that all remark fields are continually updated, especially get well dates
Concentrate your remarks in the Core Comment block
Evaluate all METs, standards, Core, and NSIT on every assessment
NSIT is a separate assessment that shall be consistent with your DRRS-S assessments
Manage the data systems that provide resource data (AMSRR, SHARP, etc.)
Accurate Flight logging in SHARP really matters
Take advantage of the TYCOM and Type Wing experts
