OFRD Force Readiness Information It is imperative that all officers log onto the Office of Force Readiness Deployment (OFRD) Web site to determine whether they meet and have maintained force readiness standards. Officers should review the OFRD Web site for these requirements. For promotion purposes, OCCO conducts a pre and post promotion “Readiness” check. OFRD runs quarterly readiness checks which occur the end of March, June, September and December. Officers will be awarded five (5) points for Precept 5 if the “Basic” readiness requirements are met as of the December quarterly check, as reported by the Office of Force Readiness and Deployment (OFRD). If these “basic” requirements are NOT met at this time, zero (0) points will be awarded and the officer will be given a “not recommend” based on force readiness standards. Additionally, all officers, who do not meet “Basic” readiness requirements when the post-Board administrative review is performed utilizing March OFRD reported data, the officer will be REMOVED from the promotion pool, regardless of where he/she falls on the promotion rank order lists. Please direct all questions, comments, inquiries and concerns on response readiness-related matters directly to the OFRD office. Officers should be aware of the criteria evaluated by OFRD for readiness standards to be met. It is vital that officers know when each criteria expires to ensure they maintain compliance (i.e., APFT, flu shot, PPD, BLS, etc.). OFRD does not routinely notify officers if they are about to or have fallen out of compliance. This information is only reported in conjunction with the quarterly checks. Please note: Officers with a previously approved waiver will be exempt only from the portions of the OFRD requirements as annotated on their waiver. It is essential that if an officer has a medical condition that prohibits them from completing certain aspects of the OFRD requirements, the officer MUST contact the Medical Affairs Branch (MAB) and request a waiver; it is not automatic even if MAB is aware of the medical condition.
