Current global operations reinforce the urgent need for a readiness system that can provide accurate, relevant, and timely information to support operational planning as well as offer risk assessments of multiple simultaneous contingencies in the context of the Defense Strategy.
Along the same lines, the services and Joint organizations are changing reporting entities in the Global Status of Resources and Training Systems (GSORTS) to a new Enhanced Status of Resources and Training System (ESORTS) contained in DRRS. ESORTS shifts the basis of readiness assessment and reporting to a Mission Essential Task-based (MET) construct. Consequently, DRRS will be the first readiness system to provide “true” force capability in those terms.
