assessment tools used in the Department 

of Defense to establish a capabilitiesbased, adaptive, near real-time readiness 

reporting system. 

All DoD Components will use the 

DRRS information to identify critical 

readiness deficiencies, develop 

strategies for rectifying these 

deficiencies, and ensure they are 

addressed in appropriate program/

budget planning or other DoD 

management systems. 

The major subsystems of the Defense 

Readiness Reporting System include: 

(a) The Enhanced Status of Resources 

and Training System (ESORTS) is an 

automated, near real-time readiness 

reporting system that provides resource 

standards and current readiness status 

for operational forces and defense 

support organizations in terms of their 

ability to perform their mission essential 

tasks. ESORTS allows users electronic 

access into multiple readiness 

community data sources using ESORT 

tools to view readiness-reporting data in 

a uniform fashion from any readiness 

data source.

(b) The Planning and Assessment 

Tools Suite (PATS) provides the 

capability to assess plans using real unit 

data gathered from ESORTS; test 

feasibility form forces, logistics, and 

other aspects and assesses the ability to 

execute multiple plans under the 

National Military Strategy; and supports 

rapid, adaptive planning in response to 

contingencies. 

DDRS will employ Networks and 

Information Integration (NII) approved 

web-servicing techniques to acquire and 

share DRRS readiness information. 

DRRS will obtain readiness related 

personnel data from the Army Human 

Resource Center’s Integrated Total Army 

Personnel Database (ITAPDB), Air 

Force’s Military Personnel Data System 

(MilPDS), Navy’s Type Command 

Readiness Management System (TRMS) 

and Marine Corps’ Marine Corps Total 

Force System (MCTFS). 

DRRS readiness assessment process 

are supported by web service agents that 

gather information from primary source 

data in the net-centric environment and 

perform analysis and web service 

notification. Data sources expose their 

readiness related data to DRRS by 

mapping their data to the DRRS 

Readiness Markup Language (RML) 

specification and expose it as a Web 

service. In this case, a Web service is a 

self-contained, modular unit of software 

application logic. Using the RML, data 

source providers can share their data 

directly with DRRS/ESORTS users in a 

consistent and meaningful way not tied 

to any one specific software platform. 

Once data source providers expose their 

selected data using Web services, the 

data can be repurposed for other 

approved readiness and DoD-wide uses. 

DRRS will operate in a Secret Internet 

Protocol Network (SIPRNet) 

environment where exposure will be 

limited to appropriately cleared 

personnel. 

DDRS will permit commanders to 

obtain pertinent readiness data 

personnel assigned/attached to their 

units.

OMB invites public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used
