Use Readiness Management

The Readiness Management solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you understand the operational capacity of a force, monitor the status of units, and communicate capabilities and disruptions to leadership and staff.

In this topic, you will learn how to use the solution by assuming the role of a user and performing the following workflows.

Monitor force readiness

Some organizations may find it more efficient to have an individual from the administration staff check in their unit member using the Personnel Readiness Batch Report survey. If a unit decides to use the batch survey, follow the same general steps below with the Personnel Readiness Batch Report survey and the Readiness Dashboard.

Complete an individual readiness report

You will start by assuming the role of a guardsman. You are asked to use the Personnel Readiness Report survey to share your availability status each morning.

1. In a browser, go to your Personnel Readiness Report survey.
2. In the Personnel Readiness Report survey, fill in the following details:

   Parameter	Value
   Battalion	Select 1st Battalion.
   Company	Select A Company.

Complete a readiness batch report

Alternatively, you will start by assuming an administrative role. You are asked to use the Personnel Readiness Batch Report survey to submit availability of troops.

1. In a browser, go to your Personnel Readiness Batch Report survey.
2. In the Personnel Readiness Batch Report survey, fill in the following details:

   Parameter	Value

   ARNG Unavailable Troops	Enter the number of troops not available to report for duty.
   Would you like to input details for each ARNG duty type?	Yes
   ARNG Duty Type Details	Enter the number of troops under each duty type, the number of troops entered must equal the number of troops available to report for duty.
   Total Available Troops	Updated automatically.
   Total Unavailable Troops	Updated automatically.

3. Click Submit.

Monitor personnel readiness

Now you will assume an administrative role in the same unit. You are asked to monitor the readiness of your unit and are looking to see if your unit is available to be tasked to a mission. You will view the overall readiness of your workforce.

Note:

The steps below are the same if you are within leadership and will be using the Admin Dashboard to monitor the readiness of your team. The Admin Dashboard will contain personal information about the individual unit members.

1. In a browser, go to the Readiness Dashboard application.

   The Readiness Dashboard opens with an overview of the overall readiness of the brigade and each battalion within the brigade.

The overview displays key metrics. This information gives leadership a quick overview of the number of unit members available. Statistics related to the overall availability of your unit are also shown. The dashboard is configured to show the most recent submissions by each individual or unit. The side panel can be used to further filter subsets of submissions.
2. The dashboard is configured to show the most recent submissions by each individual or unit. The side panel can be used to further filter subsets of submissions. Expand the side panel and notice that All Submission Dates is selected by default from the Select Submission Time Frame category selector. This is intended to show all submissions regardless of time period submitted. Using the Select Submission Time Frame filter select Last 24 Hrs. Notice that you can also select Last 48 Hrs and Last 72 Hrs to define a preset time frame of submissions.
3. Activate the Date Range filter by first selecting Date Range in the Select Submission Time Frame category selector and then providing a Start and End date. Review the list of personnel and their locations in the map.
4. Continue defining a subset of submissions by choosing from the Select Individual or Unit, Select Available or Unavailable, Select Brigade, Select Battalion, Select Company, and Select MOS or AFSC category selectors in the side panel to view corresponding results in the dashboard.
