Why DRRS-A for the Army DRRS-A features Current 
system vs. future system Task assessment 
methodology Net USR Demonstration 
 3Why the Army is Moving to DRRS-A
-  OSD has mandated that the Service move toward 
 a single Readiness reporting system  Defense
 Readiness Reporting System (DRRS).
-  Our legacy systems were shaped during the 
 cold war period, when the Army resourced and
 tracked readiness of units based on concept of
 first to fight, first to resource.
-  The new readiness reporting system provides the 
 Army two major improvements
-  First it will allow better readiness reporting 
 for the high OPTEMO conditions inherent with
 GWOT. As the Army moves to ARFORGEN construct
 for preparing units for deployments, DRRS-A will
 support this process.
-  Secondly, the Army will be able to retire its 
 DOS based PC reporting system and move to a WEB
 based architecture.
4DRRS-A Features
- Like the USR it remains the Commanders report. 
- Data is validated by the chain of command and 
 quality-controlled by the Army institutional
 processes.
- Transforms the Armys business processes and 
 mindset for assessing and reporting readiness.
- Looks like the familiar USR, but with enhanced 
 features.
- Maintains GCCS-J/GSORTS and JOPES compatibility 
 and interoperability.
- Fulfills the Armys command and control data 
 requirements, supporting pay, personnel, training
 support, and others.
- Protects sensitive and classified readiness 
 information across the Army.
- Supports current and future Army and DoD systems 
 and requirements (such as ARFORGEN).

 9NETUSR in Development
What is not part of the application 
yet Development of the NetUSR application is 
ongoing, scheduled for completion and deployment 
in October. The following functionality has not 
yet been incorporated into NetUSR. 1. USR Report 
Sections - Some sections of the report are not 
complete or not there at all at this time. a. 
Equipment Readiness Information (The Equipment 
Readiness page is being reworked, we are not 
looking for feedback on the Equipment Readiness 
page that exists now.) b. Equipment On-Loan 
data c. Mission Accomplishment Estimate data d. 
Overall Readiness Ratings (C Level and associated 
data) 2. Special Report Types  the system has 
regular reports, no special report types are in 
completed yet (i.e. it does not yet support 
Composite, Change, Validation reports) 3. Report 
Validation, Review and Submission  functionality 
in this area has not been developed a. Report 
Validation a page that shows all errors with the 
USR in one place. b. Review and approval  
approving the USR when complete c. Routing a USR 
 sending the USR up to the higher level chain of 
command d. Export or Import of a completed USR  
You can export and import the raw data used to 
create a USR, but not the completed USR 4. NetUSR 
 Standalone  The NetUSR Standalone Application 
has the same functionality as the Dev Net version 
(except for some items on the Report Options 
menu. Although the standalone application is 
completed, there is no automated install that 
would make it possible for someone in the field 
to install NetUSR Standalone.
