8. Unit METs/METLs Unit METL DRRS-MC Readiness Standards
MCTL serves as the common reference for USMC commanders, staffs, and trainers. Units serving in their Core and Assigned Missions derive their “tasks” from MCTL and are required to reporting their operational readiness to execute these tasks in DRRS-MC.
A MCT that is considered “essential” or “critical” to mission accomplishment becomes a Mission Essential Task (MET).
METs are externally focused and are tasks for which the unit was designed, organized, or sourced to the mission or OPLAN.
METs answer the question “Why does this unit exist?” METs are focused outside the command, support another command, or directly affect the enemy.
Standards: Personnel, Equipment, Training and Certification requirements, Output measures.
Core Tasks define the design capabilities for a type of unit, are published in the MCTIMS Task Master ADS database, and are used to develop the type community’s T&R Manual.
Assigned Mission Tasks/OPLAN Tasks are developed when a unit prepares to participate in a specific unit deployment, operation, or alert mission (e.g., MEU BN Landing Team, Global Response Force) and may/may not be “additive” tasks to the established Core METL.

Critical, discrete, externally-focused activities that enable execution of the organizational mission; tasks for which standing organizations were designed; standardized for each unit type
Core Plus Mission Essential Tasks
Have lower probability of execution; theater specific; NOT included in unit readiness assessments; Units may elect to include Core Plus tasks in their METLs and associated training plans
Assigned Mission Essential Tasks
Assessed when 25 percent or more of a unit deploys or prepares to deploy in support of a Named Operation; Based on Core METs, Core Plus METs, Mission templates, and deployment guidance
Select MCTs as METs and Develop COI METL = 20% of the WG’s time

27. Once an MCT becomes a MET, what is required when drafting measures?
MAR 2015
UNCLASSIFIED-FOUO

28. MET Standard Types Resource Standards:
Manpower (T/O) and Equipment (T/E) required to produce the outputs
Training/Certification Standards:
Training required to produce the outputs
Links DRRS-MC assessment to COI T&R Manual standards
Links “E” coded events to the MET; identifies Exercises/Certs required
Output (Performance) Standards:
Quantify the outputs provided to the gaining Force Commander
Focus on results rather than process, inputs, or resources applied
Subordinate/Supporting Unit Standards:
Tasks performed by other units that are required to produce the outputs
Required for intermediate level commands
MAR 2015
UNCLASSIFIED-FOUO

29. MET Personnel (T/O) & MET Equipment (T/E) Standards
Measure the Personnel required to produce the required task outputs under the selected task conditions; Link Personnel on the unit (T/O) to the tasks they support; Personnel metrics are used in DRRS-MC to assess the resources required to accomplish the task
Personnel Examples:
>=16 crews formed
>=80% Of T/O billets filled with MOS-qualified, deployable personnel
>=80% of MOS 0621 T/O filled with MOS-qualified, deployable personnel
>=2 MOS 0602 billets filled with MOS-qualified, deployable personnel
Measure the Equipment required to produce the required task outputs under the selected task conditions; Link Equipment on the unit Table of Equipment (T/E) to the tasks they support; Equipment metrics are used in DRRS-MC to assess the resources required to accomplish the task
Equipment Examples:
>= 80% of BN T/E Stinger sub-systems mission ready and available
>= 2 DTC (or equivalent stand-alone equipment) ready and available
>= 80% of single channel radios T/E ready and available
MAR 2015
UNCLASSIFIED-FOUO

30. MET Training & MET Output Standards
Measure the Training required to produce the required task outputs under the selected task conditions; Training metrics are used in DRRS-MC to:
Assess the training required for the task
Support the calculation of the percentage of METs trained
Normally refer to E-coded events in an approved COI T&R Manual, or Collective events
identified by the community as critical indicators of a unit’s ability to perform a MET
Training Example:
>=4 teams trained to standard in 0321-AMPH-4002 Conduct a clandestine amphibious landing/withdrawal
Measure the capability to produce the required Output or endstate. Quantify and scope the activity described by the task; Output metrics are used in DRRS-MC to assess the observation of the task performance.
Output Examples:
>=22,400 gallons per day of bulk fuel received/stored/dispensed
>=2 site(s) established to provide immediate humanitarian assistance, including food, water, and health services
Y/N Capable of boarding high freeboard ship
Y/N Capable of applying combat power to delay, impede, halt, or dislodge the enemy
Y/N Capable of seizing multiple battalion objectives through surface and/or heliborne assault

UNCLASSIFIED-FOUO

32. NEW MCTs Developed/Used as COI METs Require Advocate/OAG Approval
ISSUE
WHAT NOT TO DO!
BACKGROUND
Issue
COI conducted both a CBA and pre-T&R Manual development workshop WITHOUT precursor MET/METL Review and Development Workshop.
COI’s mission criteria based on future proposed T/E (either in RDT&E or future fielding). Training plan cannot be developed and would artificially skew Community’s combat capability assessment thus creating degraded readiness within DRRS-MC.
Changing current METL of 3 METs to nine (9) , including six (6) METs with future T/E in the acquisition pipeline but not on Communities MEE/PEI, would illustrate mission degradation.
Description
COI conducted internal CBA and recommended changes to their current DRRS-MC reportable METL of 3 METs to 9 METs.
COI current T/E cannot perform the recommended additive six (6) METs to their METL to standard.
Changes vetted within the COI, reviewed by Advocate, but conducted WITHOUT participation elements identified and established within the MET/METL Review and Development Workshop process (MCO ).
DESIRED ENDSTATE
RECOMMENDATION
Describe:
CD&I/CDD/MCTL Branch provides clarity in identifying differences between current capabilities and future capabilities, Mission Statement requirements, and MET/METL review and development process and use for implementation in DRRS-MC.
COI’s CBA recommendations can assist MCCL, MGL and solution development documents, but are not acceptable for deliverables required to reflect current capabilities and readiness reporting in DRRS-MC.
Deliverable:
CD&I/CDD requires Advocate to re-review Mission Statement and DRRS-MC reportable METL.
CD&I/CDD/MID requires Advocate approval to revised recommended METs to ensure T/O&E, T&R Manual alignment proficiencies, and Output standards are established for DRRS-MC readiness reporting assessments.
TIMELINE/Suspense: 45 day Working Group staffing/concurrence
LEAD: HQMC Advocate Office, 0-6 Level
Coordination Mtg was conducted with CDD/MID, TFSD and Advocate to re-review the COI’s current capability Mission Statement and METL.

ISSUE
WHAT TO DO!
BACKGROUND
Description
Community of Interest in the process of reorganization.
MCTs used by COI (as reportable METs within their METL, as well as, Mission Statements and T&R Manual required significant changes.
Recommended COI changes requires coordination and review concurrence by Advocate.
Issue

MCT X Conduct [Specific Capability] Ops
MCT X.X Support [Specific Capability] Ops
DESIRED ENDSTATE
RECOMMENDATION
Describe
CD&I/CDD/MID requires recommended NEW MCTs be aligned to training event requirements within COI T&R Manual to ensure trained assessment is captured within DRRS-MC.
CD&I/CDD/MID requires quantifiable measurable metrics and standards associated to the NEW MCTs.
CD&I/CDD/MID requires Advocate to review/approve recommended NEW MCTs for inclusion in MCTL and MCTIMS/Task Master for use in COI METL.
