Improvements of DRRS
| SORTS | DRRS | |
|---|---|---|
| Mission | Readiness is reported for one highlighted mission that the unit was designed for (usually the unit's core wartime mission) | Readiness is reported for a range of missions and tasks including a unit's wartime mission |
| Assessment | An overall readiness score is calculated from scores in four resource areas | A commander gives an overall assessment for each mission based on assessments of tasks and the resources available |
| Sources of data | Unit commanders track data and make calculations | Calculations are automatic, using service wide databases |
| Reporting units | Deployable combat and support units such as ships, squadrons and brigades | Deployable combat and support units such as ships, squadrons, and brigades, plus detachments, headquarters (including Combatant Commands), National Guard units (all missions) and installations |
| Standardization across the services | The services have different reporting procedures, but all reports have the same formatting | Each service has a distinct DRRS system. The systems are electronically compatible and are part of one common system |
