CVN OPS ADMIN Officer Course 1 January 2016
Introduction This presentation covers the following topics: OPS Admin Course Background Metrics Overview Assessments Reporting Rules DRRS-N Accounts Training Keys to Success
Background – DRRS Background DRRS provides a single, standardized DoD readiness reporting system based on Mission Essential Tasks (METs) DRRS improves the assessment, visibility, and force management of our forces/organizations DRRS is used by all services to report readiness to DoD and Joint Staff and is commonly referred to as DRRS-S (DRRS Strategic)
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 capability areas Capability Areas = Warfare Mission Areas from the ROC/POE CVN reports on all ROC/POE Warfare Areas Each MET contains a set of conditions and standards The METL is common to all units within a Responsible Organization (RespOrg)
Background – DRRS-N DRRS-N is the tool Navy organizations uses to report MET readiness data to DRRS Navy DRRS-N Policy Guidance NTRP 1-03.5 OPNAV 3501.360 CNAP/CNAL 3500.38 Note: All references can be found in the Resources tab of the CNAF Readiness Reference Tool
Background – DRRS-N Data Flow DRRS-N is comprised of a network of interdependent systems, architectures, databases, and applications. The network provides the means for reporting readiness data when Ashore or Afloat. ARRS: Afloat Readiness Reporting Server. A server on each ship that houses readiness applications. IRRI: Innovative Readiness reporting Initiative. IRRI is a software package that resides on the ARRS server and contains DRRS-N Afloat.
Background – CVN Sample (DRRS-N Ashore)
Background – CVN Sample (DRRS-N Afloat)
Background – DRRS-N DRRS-N contains two assessments: Computed Assessment (Automated) PESTO Pillars (Per, Eqp, Sup, Tng, Ord) Pre-calculated data from authoritative data sources PESTO data feeds a SORTSREPNV worksheet that is submitted through DRRS-N in the legacy DRRS-N Afloat program Commander’s Assessments (Subjective) The Commander shall assess Core, Capability Areas, and all METs PESTO Pillar data is provided to assist the Commander in making an assessment The Commander’s Core, Capability Area, and MET assessments are the only data that flow up beyond Navy lifelines to DRRS Note: DRRS-N has two similar software input tools, DRRS-N Ashore (used when land based) and DRRS-N Afloat (used by ships and embarked units)
Metrics Overview – 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.

Commander’s Assessments Assessments – Types The Commander assesses the following areas with a Y, Q, or N: The MET The Capability Area The Core In addition, the Commander shall update the OARS (Organization and Resource Status) data. OARS will be discussed later. 1 Commander’s Assessments 2 3 4
Commander’s Assessments Assessments – Values The following values are used when assessing the Core, Capability Area, and MET assessment blocks: Commander’s Assessments
Assessments – Values The following values are used when assessing the Core, Capability Area, and MET assessment blocks: Y – Yes (Green) The unit can successfully perform an assigned Capability or MET to the prescribed standards and conditions. A “Yes” assessment should reflect demonstrated performance in training and operations.
Assessments – Values The following values are used when assessing the Core, Capability Area, and MET assessment blocks: Q – Qualified Yes (Yellow) (Used when data may not readily support a “Yes” assessment). The unit is expected to accomplish an assigned Capability or 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.
Assessments – Values The following values are used when assessing the Core, Capability Area, and MET assessment blocks: N – No (Red) The unit cannot perform an assigned Capability or MET to the prescribed standards and conditions at this time. Supporting explanations are mandatory for any “N” assessment.
Assessments – TYCOM Guidance Fleet guidance on making assessments in DRRS-N: The Core assessment shall not be green if either MOB or CCC Capabilities are assessed less than green The commander’s assessment shall not be green in MOB and Core if .. an engineering casualty exists that limits speed or maneuverability if onboard fuel percentage or days of provisions are less than prescribed by fleet or operational commanders The overall MOB Capability Area shall be assessed as no better than the worst assessment of any individual mob capability area The commander’s assessment shall not be green in any NMET or Capability Area affected by an active Cat 3 or Cat 4 CASREP The commander’s assessment shall not be green for any Capability Area if a unit fails to complete the full training requirement or fails to achieve required certification for any phase of the FRTP The commander’s assessment shall not be green for any NMET or Capability Area where shipboard ordnance load is less than 80% of shipfill or other requirement directed by echelon two fleet commanders
Assessments – TYCOM Guidance Guidance on CASREPS: CASREPS are specific indicators of "change in readiness status" and require updates to DRRS-N. The category of the CASREP shall never be worse than the worst mission area Affected. For example, if a unit submits a C3 CASREP, there must be at least one capability (mission area) evaluated as “Q/Qualified Yes." the qualified statement should be in the area(s) impacted by the C3 CASREP. Listing all CASREPS in the assessment fields is not desired. Upper echelon commands have access to MFOM and can view all CASREP summaries. Keep comments focused on operational impacts to mission areas.
Assessments – Information Assurance (IA) In November 2012, USFFC required units reporting NTA 5.5.5 (Perform Information Assurance) in DRRS-N to report the status of specific IA requirements and readiness The guidance is outlined in USFFC message R132210Z NOV 12 (A copy is in the reference library) The USFFC guidance requires the following unit level action items: The status of IA related training, server scans, and server software patches in the remarks block for NTA 5.5.5 (template available at http://.www.fleetforces.navy.smil.mil/cyberfor/n4/default) The Commander’s Assessment for NTA 5.5.5 is dependant on the unit’s site accreditation, completion of IAVA scans, and percent of server patches applied Condition NTA 5.5.5 Assessment (Y/Q/N) Site accreditation has expired No higher than Red (N) Site reaccreditation has not started or is within 90 days of expiration No higher than Yellow (Q) Latest IAVA scan (either NIPR or SIPR) is greater than 30 days old Percent of available patches fully applied (either NIPR or SIPR) is less than 90 percent Percent of available patches fully applied (either NIPR or SIPR) is less than 70 percent IAVA Scans = An information assurance vulnerability alert (IAVA) is an announcement of a computer application software or operating system vulnerability notification in the form of alerts, bulletins, and technical advisories identified by DoD-CERT, a division of the United States Cyber Command.

Assessments – Commander’s Remarks The Core assessment block contains specific sections for your comments: Overall Section: Describe the unit’s current readiness in relation to the wartime mission and ability to conduct current tasking PESTO Sections: Describe the specific readiness issues and operational impacts Comments should focus on current and future capability and issues Projections on readiness changes should be based on events and not just the next DRRS-N assessment Minimum comments should include; Current FRTP (R+) month/phase Next major FRTP milestone Expected deployment date Commander’s top readiness concerns Note: Since only the Commander’s assessment and comments go up to DRRS, remarks about PESTO pillar data should be submitted to CNAF N40 via other means.
Assessments – Commander’s Remarks PESTO Remarks Comment on IAs and TADs that cause personnel shortages Comment on Equipment degradations and all CAT 4 CASREPS Comment on Supply shortages and planned on-loads Comment on Training issues and when events will be achieved Comment on Ordnance status and on-loads General Remarks Tips All comments should describe the readiness degradation, the CO’s plan to resolve it, and resources required to achieve Green This is not a message so use sentence case DRRS-N is about full MCO capability. Describe how current tasking effects MCO readiness Do not use SORTS terminology in DRRS-N comments
Commander’s Assessments Assessments – OARS Page In addition to the MET assessments, the Commander shall update the OARS data. CJCS has not released the component services from their responsibility to report SORTSREPNV data USFF includes the OARS data in DRRS-N to capture legacy SORTSREPNV data OARS transmits SORTSREPNV data along with the DRRS-N assessment and creates a SORTSREPNV report internal to the larger DRRS-S network for use at Joint Staff 1 Commander’s Assessments 2 3 4 OARS = Organization and Resource Status
DRRS-N Ashore – OARS Data Calculations Everyone with a DRRS-N account can view your OARS data. To update the data in the OARS page, select the Edit buttons or by click on the C Rate boxes. Note: The guidance for completing the OARS data is contained in Section 6 of the CNAP/CNAL 3500.38
Assessments – OARS Data Calculations When the user selects either Edit buttons or clicks on the C rate boxes, a data entry screen will appear. Complete the data fields required. Report current employment via the Activity Code sets Report deployment status using the pull-down menu C Rates should be consistent with the commander’s assessed (DRRS-N) values
Assessments – OARS Data Calculations Report the ship’s LAT/LONG when home or MODLOC when at sea Category Level and Limitations are N/A for CNAP/CNAL units Percent Effective is your readiness to perform your currently assigned mission (1-4) Report Chem-Bio stats as per sections 6 of the CNAP/CNAL 3500.38 Report BA/NMP/COB for all officers/enlisted in the Personnel Strength boxes
Reporting Rules - Frequency Submit assessments in DRRS-N as follows: Within 24 hours of a significant change in readiness Within 24 hours of an unplanned change in underway status fail to sail hurricane sortie surge deployment RTP for emergent repairs Within 30 days of the last assessment Following completion of major FRTP milestones to include TSTA, FEP, C2X, and JTFEX 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. A significant change in readiness is defined as a change in any Capability Area (Yes, Qualified Yes, and No) assessment from the previously reported assessment as determined by the Unit Commander (e.g. Commander’s Assessment). Note: Your ISIC may also direct a DRRS-N assessment based on COCOM or Fleet Commander reporting requirement.
DRRS-N Accounts DRRS-N Ashore DRRS-N Afloat Tips (DRRS-N Afloat) Requested via the SIPRNET (https://drrsn.nrre.navy.smil.mil/drrsn) Accounts are Managed by USFFC At best, OPS and OPS Admin should have Commander permissions Help Desk: 757-836-6365 (DSN 836) Email: drrsn@navy.mil DRRS-N Afloat Primarily where you will make DRRS-N assessments OPS ADMIN on the CVN creates accounts for all embarked units Help Desk: 757-836-5241/6365 (DSN 836) Tips (DRRS-N Afloat) Embarked staffs have to make their own watch lists (groups) CVW staff also must make a watch list to view the DRRS-N CARR (Carrier Air Wing Readiness 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, 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/Afloat Permission Levels: Unit Role Description Unit Viewer /Browser Can only view approved assessments. Cannot make changes to assessments. Cannot see the OARS page. 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. Releaser and ADMIN (DRRS-N Afloat Only)
CNAF Readiness Brief (CVN) Both CNAP and CNAL present a bi-monthly readiness brief to CNAL N00 using DRRS-N readiness data. The CVN pages are organized by FRTP phase. Comments on the Readiness Brief come directly from the unit’s DRRS-N assessment.
Training Plan – Methods Three avenues for DRRS-N training are: On-line and embedded training CNAF Readiness Reference Tool Help functions in DRRS-N Pipeline training TYCOM OPS ADMIN Officer Course Waterfront briefs Quarterly at Fleet Concentration sites As requested by units
Keys to Success Unit commander 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 ship Do not use SORTS terminology in your remarks Ensure that all remarks fields are continually updated Old remarks remain in DRRS-N until updated Evaluate all METs, Capability Areas, Core, and OARS data on every assessment OARS data should match the current DRRS-N Capability Area assessments Manage the input systems that feed DRRS-N (FLTMPS, CSMP, CV-SHARP, etc.) Take advantage of the TYCOM experts.
