Introduction This presentation covers the following topics: DRRS-N PXO Course Background Assessments Reporting Rules DRRS-N Accounts CNAF Readiness Brief Available Training DRRS-S Transition Keys to Success
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 MAP CNAP/CNAL Sets R+ months, allocates FHP, TAD Manages Aircraft maintenance TYCOM FRTP Training Events FRTP Profile resources T&R Matrices 3510 Entitlements Warfighters CSG/CVW/SQDN/DET requirements 3
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 for some CSGs There may be another deployment during sustainment where funding will go back to 80% 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
Fleet Response Plan Profile Current Readiness Standard Background – Current Readiness Standards Standards are published in CNAP/CNALINST 3510.11 (series) Instructions on the CNAF SHAREPOINT SITE Fleet Response Plan Profile Current Readiness Standard
Current Readiness Standard Background – Current Readiness Standards Current Readiness Standard Daily AMSRR Data Current Readiness Standards Training hours and sim fidelity standards come from the Capabilities-based Training and Readiness matrices (CBTRM) Driven by R+ month, the CR tables sets demand signal for: Aircraft on flight line Parts support Mission systems Aircrew Manning Fit/Fill SHARP data (via the Current Readiness Assessment (CRA)) is married in ADW with the R+ month profile as set by the CR tables and pushed to DRRS-N. SHARP
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 and DRRS-N readiness systems. 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).
Background – DRRS-N DRRS-N is the tool Navy organizations use to report MET readiness data to DRRS-S DRRS-N has two software applications DRRS-N Ashore (SIPRNET) DRRS-N Afloat (Shipboard) Navy Policy Guidance NTRP 1-03.5 OPNAV 3501.360A USFFC/CPF 3501.5 CNAP/CNAL 3500.38 As we discussed on the previous slide, DRRS-N is the tool that Navy units use to report readiness to DRRS. DRRS-N has two software applications that capture unit and group level readiness data. 1. DRRS-N Ashore: Used by units when ashore 2. DRRS-N Afloat: Used by units when embarked on ships. The Navy policy documents on DRRS-N are listed on the slide. 1. The NTRP 1-03.5 provides assessment rules and describes the metrics behind the PESTO automated data. 2. The OPNAV 3501.360A provides basic guidance on how the Navy uses DRRS-N. 3. The USFFC/CPF 3501.5 is the fleet commander’s DRRS-N guidance. 4. The CNAP/CNAL 3500.38 is the Air Forces policy on DRRS-N reporting for all CNAF units. Notes: - DRRS-S (Strategic) is the Joint Level of DRRS - All references are on the CNAF Readiness Reference Tool
Background – DRRS-N (Reduced METL) Units on a reduced will see a different view in DRRS-N One Mission (Core) Reduced METL PESTO Data: CO Assessment
Background – DRRS-N Assessments DRRS-N contains two assessments: Computed Assessment (Automated) PESTO Pillars (Per, Eqp, Sup, Tng, Ord) Pre-calculated data from authoritative data sources Squadrons will see only the Personnel (P), Equipment (E), and Training (T) pillars Detachments only see the Equipment and Training pillars Commander’s Assessments (Subjective) The Commander shall assess Core, all METs, and the legacy SORTS data (OARS Page) PESTO Pillar data is provided to assist the Commander in making an assessment The PETSO pillar data is the only data that does not flow up to DRRS-S Personnel Equipment Training Just cover what is shown on the slide.
Background – DRRS-N Data Sources DRRS-N compiles unit resource values (called FOMs or Figures of Merit), using authoritative data sources. These values and associated data are available to the Commander as a guide for making unit assessments. The graphic on this page illustrates the data sources that feed the squadron Figure of Merit (FOM) data to the DRRS-N Personnel, Equipment, and Training Pillars. Note that the originating data sources are unclassified sources that have been used by squadrons for years. No new data is required to feed the DRRS-N automated pillars. The squadron is not responsible for moving data to the SIPRNET. That process is done by support personnel in the background. The PESTO data sources all have 4 things in common. 1. An authoritative data source 2. An approved metric to calculate the FOM score 3. An approved mapping that ties resources to an NTA 4. A data flow process to get the FOM data to DRRS-N. Acronyms Defined: TFMMS – Total Force Manpower Management System FLTMPTS – Fleet Manpower Planning and Training System AMSRR – Aircraft Material Supply Readiness Report SHARP – Sierra Hotel Aviation Readiness Program PFOM – Personnel Figure of Merit ADW – Aviation Data Warehouse AMFOM – Aviation Figure of Merit NTIMS – Navy Training Information Management System DRRS- N provides Ashore and Afloat applications to allow units to report readiness from home or while embarked on Navy ships. The DRRS-N Ashore server is located on the DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency). When you use DRRS-N Ashore, you are accessing that server directly. DRRS- N Ashore also includes other Business Intelligence tools that are not available on DRRS-N Afloat. DRRS-N Afloat resides on servers on each Navy ship. When using DRRS-N Afloat, you are accessing a server on your ship. Every 5 minutes (optimal) the Afloat server communicates with the Ashore server. Your draft assessment stays on DRRS-N Afloat until you hit the submit button at which time it is sent to the Ashore server. Also note that both DRRS-N Ashore and Afloat require separate accounts. DRRS-N Ashore accounts are requested online from the DRRS-N Homepage DRRS-N Afloat accounts are requested from the CVN OPS Admin Officer or the OPS Officer on all other ships. Note: The parent commands of detachments display the P-Pillar for the entire squadron. Individual detachments do not have their own P-Pillar.
Background – PESTO Metrics PESTO pillar data is dependent on inputs, data sources, frequencies, and metrics. The illustration below summarizes the inputs, data sources, frequencies, and metrics for Personnel (P), Equipment (E), and Training (T). Pillar Input Data Source Frequency Metric Metric Owner Personnel NEC FIT Rating FIT Officer FIT COB, BA TFMMS, FLTMPS PFOM Weekly PFOM = Rs – Gs Rs CNAL N1 Type Wings Equipment Aircraft Assigned Aircraft MC Systems Assigned Systems MC AMSRR ADW Daily Based on CNAF Current Readiness standards CNAL N423 Training Skilled Crews (Pf) Sqdn Requirements (Ef) SHARP NTIMS Every 15 days or as updated by the squadron (CRA) TFOM = Pf x Ef CNAP N40 This slide provides an overview of the metrics and data sources that feed the FOM data. These metrics are approved at the TYCOM level and support the overall Navy Metrics formulas required to feed DRRS-N. Note the frequency at which some of these data sources update DRRS-N. The slide is for reference mostly, but do highlight the Frequency column. Note that two of the data sources update bi-monthly and the E pillar updates daily.
Commander’s Assessments Assessments – Types The Commander assesses the following areas with a Y, Q, or N: The MET The Core In addition, the Commander shall update the OARS (Organization and Resource Status) data. OARS will be discussed later. 2 There are three assessments that must be made before a unit submits their DRRS-N data. 1. Each MET must be assessed. Commander’s assessments do not need to match the computed score. 2. 3. The preponderance of the MET assessments drives the Core (overall). Concentrate your comments is the Core assessment block. 4. The OARS (Organization And Resource Status) data also must be updated every time the unit submits. The OARS data will be discussed in greater detail later. Note: if you see a gray box anywhere in the Commander Assessment column, that means that the MET or Core has never been assessed. Simply select the gray box and make an assessment. Commander’s Assessments 1 3
Assessments – Commander’s Assessment The following values are used to assess the Core and MET assessments: The unit can successfully perform an assigned MET to the prescribed standards and conditions. A “Yes” assessment should reflect demonstrated performance in training and operations. (Used when data may not readily support a “Yes” assessment). The unit is expected to accomplish an assigned MET to the prescribed standards, under most conditions. This performance, however, has not been observed or demonstrated in operations or training. Units with this rating can be employed for those tasks. The unit cannot perform an assigned MET to the prescribed standards and conditions at this time. Supporting explanations are mandatory for any “N” assessment.
Assessments – TYCOM 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 (PCTEF in OARS addresses readiness for current tasking) Source: CNAP/CNALINST 3500.38 DRRS-N Supplemental Guidance
Assessments – Commander’s Remarks CO Comments must be structured to show the following Overall block CO summary of top readiness concerns (5-6 lines max) Current FRTP month Next FRTP event Expected Deployment/RTHP date POC information Write the details of your issues in the Personnel, Equipment, and Training blocks. This goes in the CNAF Flag Readiness brief This provides us the details for talking points
Assessments – Commander’s Remarks The issues you comment on in DRRS-N 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
Assessments – Commander’s Remarks Personnel Remarks Squadrons comment on IAs, TADs, and other issues that cause personnel shortages 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 Avoid focusing on perishable, extremely short-term issues such as today’s FCF flight Your get well date drives your DRRS-N update Training Remarks Use the SHARP skills report to highlight skills that are keeping your TFOM scores low Pf data does not appear in the T Pillar drill down, so you must have good comments General Remarks/Tips Use plain language; this is not a message, so use sentence case DRRS-N is about MCO capability and not what your unit is tasked with currently Do not use SORTS terminology in DRRS-N comments Don’t just write, “Readiness as per FRTP phase” There is no need to delay an assessment due to PESTO pillars that are not populated or erroneous pillar data
Assessments – Commander’s Remarks SHARP has several reports but the two reports below are especially useful in developing DRRS-N Training comments The 15-day Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) Report explains the Ef side of the matrix in one view The Crew METs with Individual Skills Report shows how skill sets impact the Pf side of the matrix for each individual NTA The two quickest sources of training comments are the Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) and the Crew METS w/ Individual Skills reports from SHARP. The CRA report provides a single view of the Ef scores in the T&R matrix The Crew METS w/ Individual Skills report provides an explanation of the Pf scores in the matrix Since there is no detailed data in the DRRS-N T Pillar about why a unit shows a given Pf (Performance Factor), the unit can use the Crew METS w/ Individual Skills report to highlight those skill sets from the T&R that are lacking. This report clearly shows which skills are red and when compared to the T&R matrix can show where and why you are short skilled crews. Both reports are found in SHARP under the “Reports” tab.
Assessments – OARS Data The OARS data allows the unit to report those SORTS data sets required by Joint Staff through the DRRS-N application The OARS data is the minimum data required to generate a SORTS report To update the data in the OARS page, select the Edit buttons or click or the C Rate boxes When a unit submits a DRRS-N assessment, the OARS data is updated at the DRRS-N server which, in turn, generates a SORTS report for processing up line to Joint Staff This data is still used by higher echelon staffs and thus, units must make every effort to ensure that OARS data accurately reflects the unit’s current readiness Everyone with a DRRS-N account can view your OARS data.
Assessments – CVW/CSW-1 units only Under the reduced METL the old CARR no longer works thus CVW/CSW-1 Staff reports under their staff UIC The staff can view each squadron’s assessment in DRRS-N Ashore but not as a group Squadrons can still submit their comments to the staff to inform the CAG/CSW-1 comments The CAG/CSW-1 comments still reflect the ability of the wing as a whole to perform their various missions
Reporting Rules - Frequency Submit assessments in DRRS-N 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-N 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-N assessment based on COCOM or Fleet Commander reporting requirement. (2) Submission not required for changes of command.
Reporting Rules – Readiness Expectations The Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) standards are designed to incrementally prepare a unit for its full wartime readiness During an FRTP cycle, the expectations of readiness increase progressively from “No”(Red) in the maintenance phase to “Yes”(Green) at the beginning of a unit’s employability window Units should strive to maintain a “Yes”(Green) throughout their employability window unless their mission forces a degrade in certain METs (single mission focus, non-wartime tasking) Not all units follow this type of FRTP model (HM, VQ(T), VPU, and FDNF) Maintenance Basic Intermediate Employability Readiness expectations are based on your TMS FRTP cycle. In the notional FRTP cycle, a unit is expected to be… Red in the Maintenance Phase (due to lack of resources – Aircraft, Flight hours, ranges, ordnance etc.) Red/yellow in the basic and intermediate phases (red increase to yellow as the unit completes major FRTP milestones such as ARP and TSTA. Green in Sustainment for units that have completed C2X and Fallon (CVW units) or Phase Transition (non-CVW units) In DRRS-N, you are assessing your ability to perform METS based on MCO standards. Your assessments will show the chain of command if you are meeting those expectations. T&R Funding DRRS-N
DRRS-N Accounts DRRS-N Ashore DRRS-N Afloat Tips Requested via the SIPRNET Accounts are managed by USFFC CO, XO, and OPS should have Commander permissions, at a minimum Help Desk: 757-836-6365 (DSN 836) Email: drrsn@navy.mil DRRS-N Afloat Optional for reporting DRRS-N assessments when embarked OPS Dept on the ship/OPS ADMIN on the CVN creates accounts for all embarked units Help Desk: 757-836-5241/6365 (DSN 836) Tips DRRS-N accounts are tied to the individual thus no group access accounts are permitted Squadrons/detachments that are land based will use DRRS-N Ashore to report
DRRS-N Accounts - Permissions Account permission levels for both DRRS-N Ashore and Afloat have the same functionality but have different names. The table below describes the permission levels. CNAF recommends that the CO/OIC, XO, and OPS-O all have the Commander/Releaser permission level. The CO has the discretion to assign any permission level to personnel in their command DRRS-N Ashore URL (SIPRNET): https://nrressocentral.nrre.navy.smil.mil/ DRRS-N permission levels: Ashore Afloat Description View Browser Can only view approved assessments. Cannot make changes to assessments. Cannot see the OARS data. Unit User Drafter Can view and change the assessments of capabilities and NMETs, and save assessment changes, but cannot submit assessment changes. Unit Commander Releaser Can view and change the assessments of capabilities and NMETs, save assessment changes, and submit assessment changes. Can also select the reporting method. NA Releaser and ADMIN CNAL/CNAP Recommends that CO , XO, and OPS all have a DRRS-N account with Commander Permissions. The CO ultimately decides who can submit DRRS-N for the unit.

DRRS-S Transition FY 2019 NDAA Impact on Readiness Reporting: The FY19 NDAA mandates that the military services shall complete the transition to DRRS-S not later than 1 October, 2019 DRRS-S = DRRS Strategic (OSD version of DRRS) USFF DRRS-S Transition guidance so far All Navy METLs must be reduced (completed - 31 March 2019) All Navy units must report against a reduced METL (due – 30 June 2019) DRRS-S transition managed by USFF with TYCOM concurrence Transition details Pending Navy required changes to the DRRS-S software, units may start transitioning between July –Sept 2019. DRRS-S reporting policy is in work at USFF DRRS-S training will be provided by the TYCOM prior to transition
DRRS-S View One Mission (Core) METL CO Assessment
Available Training Three avenues for DRRS-N training are: On-line and embedded training CNAF Readiness Reference Tool Help functions in DRRS-N Pipeline training PXO Course HSM/HSC OIC Course VR OPS Officer Conference CVW readiness training during the FRTP Waterfront briefs Fleet concentration sites – at least annually As requested by units
Keys to Success CO/OIC gets 100% of the vote in the Commander’s assessment regardless of the PESTO pillars 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, Core, and OARS on every assessment C Rates (OARS) should be consistent with your DRRS-N assessments Manage the input systems (AMSRR, SHARP, etc.) Flight logging in SHARP really matters, especially in the streamlined T&R Matrix The AMSRR must contain numbers for all aircraft and equipment fields, even if the number is zero Take advantage of the TYCOM and Type Wing experts
