2. What is SORTS? SORTS = Status of Resources and Training System
All services are required to report SORTS data as per CJCSI B (Joint Staff Force Readiness Reporting Instruction)
SORTS is based on a unit’s ability to perform wartime missions based on the availability of resources (P, E, S, T, O).
SORTS consists of multiple data sets
Header information
Unit ID Elements (BIDE)
Organization and Location data (ORGLOCN)
Unit Readiness Sets (C levels)
Readiness (OVALL)
Ordnance (ORDNA)
Chem-Bio Defense (CBDRT)
Personnel Strength Set

3. Summary of Reporting Changes
DRRS-N uses the OARS page to report SORTS
Only limited data sets are reported
OARS is submitted with the single submit button
Comments and other data is auto-populated by DRRS-N
DRRS-S uses the NSIT to report SORTS
More exposure to all SORTS data
Must report more data sets
NSIT has its own submit button separate from the DRRS-S submission
Just cover what is shown on the slide.

4. Access the NSIT Page Access the NSIT page from the ESORTS menu tab
Just cover what is shown on the slide.
Access the NSIT page from the ESORTS menu tab
You will see an option to continue with your previous draft.
Selecting Continue allows the current report to be loaded.
Selecting Discard loads the last approved SORTS report for the unit

5. Summary of Reporting Changes
The NSIT will display all the data sets that the unit is responsible for updating. The following slides will describe each of the data sets that units are required to update and provide policy guidance on what units should report.
Note: A software change on 30 June 2019 added the following functions
- Changed the reason codes to a single letter code
- Added the C6 resource level
- Added and “N/A” option and comments to the CHEM-BIO section
Just cover what is shown on the slide.

Use the pull down menu to select the Activity Category that best describes your current employment. Normally squadrons will select codes from Category 16 (Air Training) or Category 20 (Operations).
Activity Code
Select the Activity Code from the categories mentioned above that best describes your current employment. When a unit deploys, they shall report the Category 27 Other Activity Code “Deploy” until the unit returns from deployment.
Deployment Status
Select the appropriate deployment status from the pull down menu.

8. C - Levels
Condition Ratings are single digit ratings from 1 through 5. While the NMET and capability portions of the DRRS-S assessment are specific to each capability, the five Category rating levels represent overall unit resource conditions across all capabilities. However, reported Condition Ratings should present a readiness picture that is consistent with the DRRS-S Commander’s assessment. Report Condition Ratings for each resource area using the following criteria: C1 – Unit is resourced/trained to undertake the full wartime mission for which it was designed or organized as defined in ROC/POE. (No vulnerability or adverse impacts to flexibility.) C2 – Unit is resourced/trained to undertake most wartime missions for which it was designed or organized as defined in ROC/POE. Unit would require little, if any, compensation for deficiencies. (Isolated decreases in flexibility but no increase in vulnerability under most operational scenarios.) C3 – Unit is resourced/trained to undertake many, but not all, portions of the wartime missions for which it was designed or organized as defined in ROC/POE. Unit would require significant compensation for deficiencies. (Significantly decreased flexibility and increased vulnerability under many, but not all, envisioned scenarios.) C4 – Unit requires additional resources or training to undertake its wartime missions, but may be directed to undertake portions of its wartime mission with resources on hand. C5 – Unit is in a scheduled or planned period of operational unavailability (not resourced/trained) and is not prepared to undertake the wartime mission for which it was designed or organized. C6 – Only used when a resource area is not measured – this is currently not used by aviation units.
Note: Squadrons and detachments shall only report C5 when in transition or when directed by their TYCOM

9. Percent Effective (PCTEF)
Remarks
Percent Effective 2
PCTEF Defined:
PCTEF is a mandatory field that describes the unit’s ability to perform the currently assigned mission (e.g., completion of FRTP phase training, a named exercise or a limited employment (Disaster Relief, etc)). Use PCTEF to assess unit readiness to complete that mission, not the high-end MCO mission. Unit commanders shall update DRRS-S when a change to primary assigned mission occurs (e.g., ASW to Counter-piracy).
PCTEF Numbers:
Unit possesses the required resources, is trained, and is in position or has the necessary mobility to undertake the mission it has currently been assigned
Unit possesses the resources, is trained, and is in position or has the necessary mobility to undertake most of the mission it has currently been assigned.
Unit possesses the resources, is trained, and is in position or has the necessary mobility to undertake many portions, but not all; of the mission it has currently been assigned.
Unit requires additional resources and/or training or needs mobility assistance to undertake the mission it has currently been assigned.
PCTEF Remarks
The remarks should briefly describe the currently assigned mission and articulate the reason why the unit selected the given PCTEF number.
Note: PCTEF is reported as N/A for units reporting C5
