All commissioned officers are expected to comply with the Commissioned Corps readiness
standards at all times. The Office of Force Readiness and
Deployment (OFRD) maintains
officer readiness data in order to assure operational readiness of the entire Commissioned
Corps. There are various other entities and offices which use the OFRD generated
Commissioned Corps readiness data in deciding issues related to commissioned officers
(awards, special pays, etc.). To provide consistency in reporting readiness data,
and to assist those who use the data to plan and schedule accordingly, OFRD will
be changing to a standardized frequency with which it checks the readiness status
of all commissioned officers. Starting on 30 June 2007, barring unforeseen circumstances,
OFRD will check and report the readiness status of officers every three months,
corresponding to the following dates: 31 March; 30 June; 30 September; and 31 December.
Please become familiar with these dates and update your Official Personnel Folder,
medical records, and OFRD Officer Summary Page accordingly so as to ensure that
the assessments made by OFRD accurately reflect the readiness status of all officers
within the Commissioned Corps.
Though OFRD will check and post readiness data on
the above dates, this does not preclude OFRD from checking the readiness status
of officers at other times throughout the year nor does it obviate the requirement
of all commissioned officers to maintain
basic readiness status at all time.
